Interactive classroom activity covers recognizing randomness, understanding what makes something truly random and sample size. Explore random noises, images and shapes, then generate your own.
From selecting lottery numbers to testing new medicines, making sure something is truly random is important business. In this CBM Computational Thinking module, you will learn how to recognise randomness, understand what makes something truly random and see how sample size can affect your opinion of randomness. You will explore what random noises, images and shapes look like before going on to generate your own. By learning how to use code to generate these random outputs, you will learn about pseudorandomness—computers’ attempt at true randomness.
