We simulated seven methods of generating random chords, and tested the homogeneity of the chords. The results show that randomly generated chords, unlike randomly generated points, are not necessarily uniformly distributed. The distribution of a set of random lines varies with the method of generating the lines. While terms "random points" and "uniformly distributed points" are synonymous and interchangeable, "randomly lines" does not amount to "uniformly distributed lines" at all. |
