HOMEWORK 2
RANDOM NUMBERS

Problem 1: Use the LCM to generate a sequence of 5 three-digit random integers and
corresponding random numbers with:

a. X0 = 951, a = 28, m = 1000, c = 36

b. X0 = 13, a = 853, m = 1024, c = 0

Problem 2: Consider the multiplicative congruential generator (c = 0) under the following

conditions:

a. X0 = 13, a = 11, m = 16

b. X0 = 10, a = 11, m = 16

c. X0 = 8, a = 11, m = 16

Generate enough values in each case to complete a cycle. What inferences can be drawn? Is
maximum period achieved?

Problem 3: Develop your own combined linear congruential random-number generator and
generate 5 random numbers.

Problem 4: Use an appropriate hypothesis test with α = 0.05 to test the uniformity of 20 random
numbers below. Explain why you choose that hypothesis test.

Problem 5: Test the independence of every fourth number, starting with the 2nd number in the
following series. Assume that α = 0.05.
