I wrote a program in java that rolls a die and records the total number of times each value 1-6 is rolled. I rolled 6 Million times. Here's the distribution:
#of 0's: 0
#of 1's: 1000068
#of 2's: 999375
#of 3's: 999525
#of 4's: 1001486
#of 5's: 1000059
#of 6's: 999487
(0 wasn't an option.)
Is this distribution consistant with random dice rolls? What objective statistical tests might confirm that the dice rolls are indeed random enough?
