Random Function

The Random function has four settings for the NORMAL, STAT or PROG

mode. (This function is not available while using the N-base function, solver

function and simulation calculations.)

Random numbers

A pseudo-random number, with three significant digits from 0 up to 0.999,

can be generated by pressing @ w 0 e. To generate further

random numbers in succession, press e. Press j to exit.

• The calculator can regenerate the same random number. (See page 36.)

Random dice

To simulate a die-rolling, a random integer between 1 and 6 can be gener-

ated by pressing @ w 1 e. To generate further random

numbers in succession, press e. Press j to exit.

Random coin

To simulate a coin flip, 0 (head) or 1 (tail) can be randomly generated by

pressing @ w 2 e. To generate further random numbers in

succession, press e. Press j to exit.

Random integer

An integer between 0 and 99 can be generated randomly by pressing @

w 3 e. To generate further random numbers in succession, press

e. Press j to exit.

• The result may not be the same each time this operation is performed.
