@futurebird @ramsey @Bumblefish also I suspect maybe a Monty Hall kind of thing where you generated a bunch of random lists, and then selected the one that looked least random to you to trick your students.
I'd love to know what the actual answer is and what you were hoping to teach your students!
@futurebird @ramsey @Bumblefish this is not remotely my area of expertise but I am interested in the answer. My guess would be that the list that looks more evenly distributed is the fake one, and therefore List A is the "actually random" one because it has more seemingly outlying subsets, like a whole bunch of 1s in rapid succession.
There are tons of ways to unevenly distribute but relatively few ways to evenly distribute, so the one that seems less even is more likely to be true
@futurebird I know how to find the SD and I will use the php-stats library every day of the week and twice on Sunday. I would much rather be able to depend on well supported community code. (At least until it is all replaced by ai slop)
