Hmmmm..

1,2,3,4,5

1,2,3,4,5

And the odds of 5 numbers repeating are? Odds of 5 numbers in sequence? Odd of 5 numbers in the same decade?....

1,2,3,4,x

1,2,3,4,x

And the odds of 4 numbers repeating are? Odds of 4 numbers in sequence? Odds if 4 numbers in the same deacade?

In other words, if you get results that are 1 in million chance happening repeatively over a small amount of draws...there is a problem.

Hello, using monte carlo, and concept Pareto (80/20) could be such a lottery 49/6 taking advantage a conju ao (associ ao) favorable pairs and trios, six positions in the lottery 49/6 or other lottery because we need to see who is coming in who draws It's not who came out with whom, male or female! Ahhhh, but even numbers and odd In twos and threes.

Hello, lorso. As in all probability and statistics is 80/20. The question is how the concept could apply 80/20 lottery, Maybe join monte carlo with the concept of pareto80/20! That is the bell curve with 80/20

General Question: How can I determine if results are likely not due to randomness?

That's like asking when some one calls out heads how can you tell if they flipped a coin to come up with it.

Read up on the Chi-Square and T-Squared in statistics.

In answer to my own question, there are web page calculators that, given a list of values, will calculate value count, mean (average), variance and standard deviation. There's other web pages that will use those results to calculate confidence intervals for the mean for various alphas (90%, 95%, 99%). These sites have exactly answered my question.

General Question: How can I determine if results are likely not due to randomness?

Specifics: The results of my Monte Carlo simulation shows that, out of a large number of trials, my results (based on only 100 actual bets) are in the top 30% and top 5% (winnings, matches, whatever). While that's nice, there are a lot better random results. So how can I convert the results of the Monte Carlo simulation into a statement such as There's a 95%/99% confidence that the results are not due to random... [ More ]
