Description d'une table de nombres aléatoires. Des statisticiens ont construit des tables comportant des suites de chiffres de 0 à 9, tirés au hasard avec probabilités égales. On dispose ainsi des tables de Tipett, de Fisher et Yates, de Kendall et Babington Smith, de Burke Horton et de la Rand Corporation.
