Random number
Numbers that cannot be reasonably predicted
A random number is generated by a random (stochastic) process such as throwing dice. Individual numbers cannot be predicted, but the likely result of generating a large quantity of numbers can be predicted by specific mathematical series and statistics. Digits of the random binary numbers are random bits or coins.
