We start the lecture covering some discrete random variables that we did not get to during Lecture D2. We also introduce the Poisson process and how it relates to the Poisson and exponential random variables. We then pivot to discussing pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs), including their required as well as desired properties and statistical tests to test for independence and uniformity. We will continue the discussion of statistical tests for independence at the start of next lecture (Lecture E2).
