Abstract

Randomness of the numbers generated by Fisher and Yates had been examined by Dhritikesh Chakrabarty by applying probability theory in 2010. The same has been examined by using chi-square(χ2) test (Nov, 2014), Students t-test(JanJune, 2015), run test(Dec 2015) by Sarmah, B.K and Chakrabarty, D. From the tests it has been seen that the numbers generated by Fisher and Yates are not properly random and deviate significantly from proper randomness. Hence one table of two digit random numbers (7500 two-digit numbers) has been constructed by applying random drawing method as an alternative to Fisher and Yates table.
