Trying To Be Random in Selecting Numbers for Lotto

This article, created by Philip J. Boland and Yudi Pawitan of the National University of Ireland at Dublin, presents data for examining the ability of individuals to choose numbers randomly. Three datasets of six-tuples selected by a lottery game, generated by S-Plus, and chosen by college students can be compared using descriptive statistics and goodness of fit tests to explore bias and randomness. This is a nice lesson plan for a more advanced statistics classroom.
