Thus, if the quota ...Refimprove date May 2010 The random ballot is a hypothetical voting method in an election or referendum , the ballot of a single voter is selected at random, and that ballot decides the result of the election. In this way, each candidate or option wins with a probability exactly equal to the fraction of the electorate favouring that candidate or option. The random ballot method is decisive, in that there is no possibility of a tied vote, assuming that the selected voter has expressed a preference if not then another ballot can be selected at random . It is unbiased in that the probability of a particular result is equal to the proportion of total support that that result has in all the votes. It is also strategy free in that there is no advantage in tactical voting . But it is not deterministic, in that a different random selection could have produced a different result, and it does not conform to majority rule since there is a substantial possibility that the selected voter may be in the minority group minority . Random ballot is most often used to explain some of the properties of other voting methods, and it is occasionally used in real life as a tiebreaker for other methods.

Random assignment or random placement is an experiment al technique for assigning subjects to different treatments or no treatment . The thinking behind random assignment is that by randomizing treatment assignment, then the group attributes for the different treatments will be roughly equivalent and therefore any effect observed between treatment groups can be linked to the treatment effect and is not a characteristic of the individuals in the group. In Design of experiments experimental design , random assignment of participants in experiments or treatment and control group s help to ensure that any differences between and within the groups are not systematic at the outset of the experiment. Random assignment does not guarantee that the groups are matched or equivalent, only that any differences are due to chance. Random assignment facilitates comparison in experiments by creating similar groups. Example compares Apple to Apple and Orange to Orange .

Age of Empires II The Conquerors The Conquerors expansion was the first game in the series to allow creation of custom random map scripts. In Video game gaming , a random map is a map generated randomness randomly by the computer, usually in Strategy video game strategy games. Random maps are often the core of single and multiplayer gameplay, aside from story based campaigns that are often shipped with the game. Each new game presents an unknown map, providing a new experience to the player, and an even playing field in multiplayer game multiplayer gaming . Random maps typically have a certain theme for example a naval random map with many small islands, or a gold rush map with a large amount of gold in the center of the map. The type of random map may also influence the game s game artificial intelligence artificial intelligence , with the AI employing different strategies optimized for each random map. Methods for generating such maps vary depending upon the topography of the game itself. A game which requires natural landscapes may use fractal subdivision to create convincing terrain, whereas a game set inside a structure such as a dungeon may use two dimensional maze algorithms. Some games allow the players to make their own random map scripts RMS , a form of Mod computer gaming game modification . Random map scripts provide instructions for generating the map, such as terrain types, resource locations, and many other factors. Random maps can also be used by scenario level design designer to unlock previously unavailable units. For example in Age of Kings, designers have used RMS to unlock new terrains and units. The unit terrain combination of fish on shoreless water is one such application of this technique. Another example is Empire Earth , where an unused dark red coloured cliff can be unlocked through a custom random map ... more details
In mechanical engineering , random vibration is motion which is non deterministic, meaning that future behavior cannot be precisely predicted. The randomness is a characteristic of the excitation or input, not the normal modes mode shapes or natural frequencies. Some common examples include an automobile riding on a rough road, wave height on the water or the load induced on an airplane wing during flight. Structural response to random vibration is usually treated using statistical or probabilistic approaches. In mathematical terms, random vibration is characterized as an ergodic and stationary process . A measurement of the acceleration spectral density ASD is the usual way to specify random vibration. The root mean square acceleration Grms is the square root of the area under the ASD curve in the frequency domain. The Grms value is typically used to express the overall energy of a particular random vibration event and is a statistical value used in mechanical engineering for structural design and analysis purposes. Image randomvibe4.png thumb Typical Random Vibration in the time domain While the term power spectral density PSD is commonly used to specify a random vibration event, ASD is more appropriate when acceleration is being measured and used in structural analysis and testing. Test specification can be established from real environment measurements using an ASD envelope or a fatigue damage equivalence criterion Extreme response spectrum and Fatigue damage spectrum .
