The table of random numbers constructed by Fisher & Yates is universally regarded as an established table of random two-digit numbers.
However, in a study on the randomness of the table, it has been found that the lack of randomness of Fisher & Yates Random Numbers Table can be regarded as significant not only at 5% level of significance but also at 1% level of significance.
Based on this findings, what decision/conclusion can be drawn on the randomness of Fisher & Yates Random Numbers Table ?
The question is :
" Is the table of random numbers constructed by Fisher & Yates sufficiently random for practical use ? "
As the precision aimed at is not stated, we cannot know how one can guarantee it.
Nowadays we have much more reliable alternatives of the pseudo random numbers. It does not matter what you are calculating it is better to use real random numbers: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/random/random.pdf
