The word "uniform" in the term "uniform random numbers" means?

a. all the numbers have the same number of digits.


b. if one number is , say , 10 units above the mean, the next number will be 10 units below the mean.


c. all the numbers are odd or all even.


d. each number has an equal probability of being drawn.

The word "uniform" in the term "uniform random numbers" means?
The answer is (d), but the question as stated is nonsense. Rather than "uniform random numbers", the description "uniform distribution of numbers" would make sense.
Reply:D. It means the probability distribution is uniform, that is, every event gets assigned the same probability.
