During this project we had to solder different components to a board to create a functional random number generator.
Random Number Generator Rolls
Number Rolled Total count
1) 25 2) 20 3) 14 4) 11 5) 13 6) 17 7) 0 |
1. How evenly distributed were the numbers for your Random Number Generator? if your game was perfect then each number should have come up approximately 16.67% of the time. Do you think your Random Number Generator is fair? why or why not?
I believe my Random number Generator is fair because most of the numbers distributions (same as total count) were close to 16.67. however rolling 1 and 2 seemed more likely in my trials than 4 which was less likely. 3, 5, 6 were more of the average numbers in the trial, and 7 was not able to be rolled since this is simulating a 6 sided die. however there is 7 LED's simply to correspond with the shape or pattern of a dice. 2. Another word for troubleshooting is debugging, what was the origin of the term debug and who was the person to coin the phrase? Admiral Grace Hopper is the person who coined the phrase and she came up with it due to the simple fact that they found a moth in their Mark II computer which was stuck in a relay which impeded operation. |
