Well, by definition a "random number sequence" is random; i.e. you cannot find out the next term.

However if you're just trying to find the formula for a "number sequence" (not random):

1) look at what you have to do to get from one number in the sequence to the next - example the initial difference between the numbers may give a sequence such as "+4, +6, +8, +10", this then gives a sequence of "+2, +2, +2 etc." - this does help to to find out the formula for the sequence.

2) write down the "term numbers" (call this "t") above or below the sequance, (i.e. 1st term, 2nd term etc.) and see what you have to do to get from the term number to the sequence number. i.e "3t-1", "t squared minus 3" etc.

What is a random sequence limit?

To the best of my knowledge, a random sequence limit imposes restrictions on random number generation. For example, one may want to generate random numbers such that any number does not occur consecutively three times. Another definition of a random sequence limit is the number that a sequence of random measurements of some property converge to as the number of measurements increase.


What is meant by random number?

That is a number picked without any thought.


What is a random number?

* A number generated for or part of a set exhibiting statistical randomness. * A random sequence obtained from a stochastic process. * An algorithmically random sequence in algorithmic information theory. * The output of a random number generator. * The least random number (17), according to the Hacker's Jargon File.

What make a number sequence?

A number sequence is an ordered set of numbers. There can be a rule such that the next number in the sequence can be determined by the values of some or all of the preceding terms in the sequence. However, the sequence for a random walk illustrates that such a rule is not necessary to define a sequence.


How do you find the 50th term in a number sequence?

You first have to figure out some rule for the sequence. This can be quite tricky.


What is a sequence that is predictable?

A deterministic sequence - as opposed to a stochastic or random sequence.


What is the nth term for 26101418?

You can't figure out the rule for a sequence from a single number.


What number follows 984339.78?

A sequence of numbers normally follows some rule (unless it is a random sequence) and no rule can be inferred from a single number, however, I can still invent one. My nomination is 984,339.79 as your next number.


What is the difference between statistical randomness and unpredictability?

In applications such as reciprocal authentication and session key generation the requirement is not so much that the sequence of numbers be statistically random but that the successive numbers of the sequence are unpredictable. With true random sequences each number is statistically independent of other numbers in the sequence and therefore unpredictable.


What is the difference between a random variable and random process?

A random process is a sequence of random variables defined over a period of time.


Is a sequence a pattern?

Not necessarily. It is simply an ordered set: it could be a sequence of random numbers.
