Answers to Questions (FAQ)
How to make a random selection of digits?
Choose which digits are selectable, by default the choice is among all digits from 0 to 9.
dCode will then make a random selection and return one of the possible digits.
Example: 10-digit draw between 0 and 9: 9,7,6,4,3,2,4,7,9,0 or 1,3,3,7,6,2,4,3,7,5
To draw numbers (not only digits from 0 to 9), use the random selection and random number picker tools.
How to simulate a head or tail?
Perform a draw between 2 values like 0 and 1 and assign 0 to head and 1 to tail.
Example: Draw of 10 consecutive toss coins: 1,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0
How to simulate a dice roll?
Perform a draw between 6 values (default from 1 to 6).
This kind of generator guarantees an unbiased draw
How to generate a random digit on Excel?
Select an empty box and enter the formula: =INT(RAND()*10)
Where to find a book with random digits?
Although this kind of book tends to be obsolete, in the past there were books filled with random numbers that were popular with scientists or statisticians.
Today it's rather a book offered as a joke, like here (affiliate link)
