Generating and Storing Random Numbers

This video tutorial demonstrates how to generate random numbers using the TI-84 graphing calculator. It covers two examples: generating 25 random numbers between 1 and 100, and generating 50 random numbers between 1 and 2, which are then stored in a list. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on using the calculator's functions to achieve these tasks, including navigating the menu, setting bounds, and storing results for easier viewing.

What is the primary purpose of this lesson on the TI-84 calculator?

• To learn how to graph equations

• To generate and store random numbers

• To solve algebraic equations
