Procedure to Generate Random Numbers on a TI-83/84

Calculator :

In order for you to get different results from your neighbors, perform these steps
once each day:
1. Pick a four-digit random number, like ‘2913’ (but choose your own, don’t
use 2913) and type it in the calculator.
2. Press the STO button to store this value in a variable.
3. Choose the ‘rand’ random variable from MATH  PRB.

4. Press enter.

Here are the actual steps to generate a random integer.

5. First, identify in your mind what the minimum and maximum values your
random number could take. For example, to simulate the roll of a die, min = 1
and max = 6.
6. Get the ‘RandInt’ (random integer) function from MATH  PRB.

7. Type the minimum value, comma, then the maximum value, so it looks
like this, with numbers instead of min and max:
RandInt( min , max )
8. Press enter.

Note:
9. If you wish to generate many values between the same minimum and
maximum, just keep pressing enter, and record the values as they come.
10. If you wish to generate more random numbers but with different
parameters, start over with step 5.
