Randomness means lack of pattern or predictability in events. Randomness suggests a non-order or non-coherence in a sequence of symbols or steps, such that there is no intelligible pattern or combination.

Random events are individually unpredictable, but the frequency of different outcomes over a large number of events (or "trials") are frequently predictable. For example, when throwing two dice and counting the total, a sum of 7 will randomly occur twice as often as 4, but the outcome of any particular roll of the dice is unpredictable. This view, where randomness simply refers to situations where the certainty of the outcome is at issue, applies to concepts of chance, probability, and information entropy. In these situations, randomness implies a measure of uncertainty, and notions of haphazardness are irrelevant.

The fields of mathematics, probability, and statistics use formal definitions of randomness. In statistics, a random variable is an assignment of a numerical value to each possible outcome of an event space. This association facilitates the identification and the calculation of probabilities of the events. A random process is a sequence of random variables describing a process whose outcomes do not follow a deterministic pattern, but follow an evolution described by probability distributions. These and other constructs are extremely useful in probability theory.

Randomness is often used in statistics to signify well-defined statistical properties. Monte Carlo methods, which rely on random input, are important techniques in science, as, for instance, in computational science.

Random selection is a method of selecting items (often called units) from a population where the probability of choosing a specific item is the proportion of those items in the population. For example, if we have a bowl of 100 marbles with 10 red (and any red marble is indistinguishable from any other red marble) and 90 blue (and any blue marble is indistinguishable from any other blue marble), a random selection mechanism would choose a red marble with probability 1/10. Note that a random selection mechanism that selected 10 marbles from this bowl would not necessarily result in 1 red and 9 blue. In situations where a population consists of items that are distinguishable, a random selection mechanism requires equal probabilities for any item to be chosen. That is, if the selection process is such that each member of a population, of say research subjects, has the same probability of being chosen then we can say the selection process is random.

I too know the feeling of the lack of shoes that create the feeling of love in a womens heart, it can destroy the bridge and hurt their feelings.
But there is hope for once there is now a shoe place where beautiful shoes meet craft in a subtle nonchalant style. Many varieties of footwear are now available to purchase online when you visit this unique electronic boutique!

Your heart will be won and her love will earn you perhaps a night not on the sofa ;)

The fact that it only set the random thread 9 pages back says a lot.
