Random List Generator

Hello Everyone!

I´m trying to generate a list of a certain length (x) of numbers placed in a random position coming from a list of 5 numbers that i have already selected.

ex. my numbers are (0, 1, 5, 8)

=> new list should be something like (1, 8, 5, 0, 1, 8, 5, 1, 0, 0....... etc.) for a total of (x) times.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

Replace the (A,B,C,D...) list with any list of data

You can use Duplicate to turn your list of original numbers into the correct length, and then Jitter to randomize the order.

Or you can use the Random component to generate x random integers from 0 to N (where N is the highest index of your original list), and then use those random integers with List Item.

I'm sure there's other ways, but those two spring to mind first.

I have shown a variation of this method.

What if i want to control the distribution so that i can favor a value, for example so that the number 1 appears more often in my list.is that possible?
