Question

It has been suggested the creation of a static test bank (not subject to change) of 1,000 questions with answers (true/false, multiple choice, and matching). A different seed will be used for each student taking the test to initialize the random number generator. Each test will consist of questions from the test bank corresponding to 100 random numbers generated by our random number generator. The test will be graded electronically. When each test is shipped, the seed used to initialize the random number generator will be included as the test number. That way, given the test number, the answers can be looked up dynamically in the test bank and we will not have to provide answer sheets. In addition, as long as the test bank is not modified (static) we can generate the same test for reference in the future as long as we know the seed. State all restrictions on the random number generator and why they exist.

Explanation / Answer

Random number generator:

1.It is an algorithm that generates sequnce of numbers that are random.

2. The generated sequence is not truly random, because it is completely determined from/by a relatively small set of initial values, called the seed

3. seeds in the random number generator using the nonnegative integer seed so that the algorithm produce a predictable sequence of numbers.

Meaning that for given seed the algorithm produces same set of random values.

Restrictions/Problems:

1. Lack of uniformity while genrating random numbers of large values.

2. The distances between where certain values occur are distributed differently from those in a random sequence distribution.
