1.G. The Random IFS Algorithm

Randomness

Of course, these are just finite sequences, but suppose they are the beginnings of infinite sequences that continue the pattern shown.

Are these random sequences? Click each sequence for an answer.

1111111111111111111111111111... 1212121212121212121212121212... 1010010001000010000010000001... 1415926535897932384626433832...

What makes these sequences nonrandom? We can give short descriptions that exactly specify the entire sequence. This motivates our definition of randomness.
