Not necessarily - random doesn’t mean every result, it means it could be every result. It could just alternate white and black pixels in a line forever and that would still be within the bounds of randomness.

nah, random exp. = equal probability of all outcomes. any non-zero probability implies some appearance of the outcome in the series of infinite repeats of the experiment. however, if you’re only running the experiment a few times, there’s no way to really say what you’ll get.

That’s the thing, if there’s an equal probability of all outcomes, then an outcome that doesn’t appear random is as likely to occur as any other.
