I want to know if the JavaScript function Math.random
uses a normal (vs. uniform) distribution or not.
If not, how can I get numbers which use a normal distribution? I haven't found a clear answer on the Internet, for an algorithm to create random normally-distributed numbers.
I want to rebuild a Schmidt-machine (German physicist). The machine produces random numbers of 0 or 1, and they have to be normally-distributed so that I can draw them as a Gaussian bell curve.
For example, the random function produces 120 numbers (0 or 1) and the average (mean) of these summed values has to be near 60.
