Which one is random?
(data sets are 100 numbers 1 to 6)
listA=[2,3,5,1,2,2,4,2,4,5,2,3,3,4,5,6,4,2,6,2,2,1,3,4,5,5,6,3,3,6,1,4,2,1,4,5,2,2,3,3,3,5,6,3,2,4,5,5,1,1,1,6,1,4,3,5,5,3,1,1,1,6,1,4,6,6,3,6,6,2,4,4,4,5,1,5,6,2,6,1,1,2,4,2,2,3,4,4,5,6,1,3,3,3,5,4,6,5,1,6]
listB=[4,2,5,6,3,5,3,1,3,4,2,3,4,3,4,5,5,1,3,3,2,1,1,6,1,3,2,2,2,6,1,5,6,3,6,3,2,3,2,4,6,1,1,6,3,2,4,1,6,1,3,1,5,6,2,3,3,5,1,6,4,5,2,5,1,1,5,3,6,2,3,3,6,5,2,3,3,1,6,3,2,3,2,1,6,6,4,4,6,2,4,5,4,5,3,4,6,5,3,2]
Replacing a bad analysis where I forgot we are dealing with dice, not decimal digits.
The first has 23/99 runs of two matching digits and 5/98 runs of three.
The second has 12/99 and 1/98.
The expected mean fractions would be 1/6 and 1/36.
The latter series is a little closer to the expected values, but each of the two series is at some distance (on opposite sides) of the mean.
These are only a couple of the possible information signals that could be checked, but they seem prima facie to suggest the second is a slightly more plausibly random-adjacent series.
