Tests
•The 1-D TEST is a frequency test. Imagine a number line stretching from 0 to 1. Use the random number generator to plot random points on this line. First divide the line into a number of "bins". 1         2 3   4
•|---------|---------|---------|---------|
•         0 .25      .50       .75       1.0
•See how randomly the random number generator fills our bins. If the bins are filled too unevenly, the Chi-Square test will give a value that's high, indicating the points do not appear random.
