What makes a phenomenon random? Give two detailed examples of a random phenomenon.

Solution

We call phenomenon random if individual outcomes are uncertain but there in nonetheless a regular distribution of outcomes in a large number of repetitions. “Random” in statistics is not a synonym for “haphazard” but a description of a kind of order that emerges only in the long run.

example-1. When you toss a coin once, the result is random, but when you toss a coin many times, the proportion of tosses resulting in heads will be about equal to the proportion resulting in tails.
The more outcomes are observed, the more closely the results will follow set proportions.

2.When you throw a dice, the result is again random but when you throw a dice many times, the proportion results in(1,2,3,4,5,6).The more outcomes are observed, the more closely the results will follow set proportions
