Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have been reading various articles
about random numbers and their generators. There are usually 3
important conclusions that I draw from them:    • Random numbers
are not truly random   • Much of the time they have a bias
(modulo bias)   • Humans are incapable of being random number
generators, when they are trying to "act randomly"  So, with the
latter-most of these observations in mind, how would we be able
to    1. Tell if a sequence of numbers that we see is truly
random, and more importantly   2. Is there some way we can prove
that said sequence is really random? share|improve this question

tempted to say that so long as you generate a sufficiently large
enough sample set 1,000,000+, you should see more or less a
uniform dispersion of (pseudo)random numbers occur. However, I'm
sure some Maths genius has a way of discrediting this, because
surely the by laws of probability you could get a run of one
number just as likely
