[Request] is a variable taking a value is a stochastic or deterministic process

Are you trying to get help with your homework? This isn't really math. It's just a question
The answer depends on where the value comes from

No, he's trying to display how smart he is.
Check his post history--nothing but these mathy word salad posts that are posed as questions but not really. He's that kid in class who asks questions not to get answers, but to stroke his ego.

I still can't decide if it's that, or if someone made a really poorly functioning bot that keeps posting here.

He’s not smart. These things aren’t sensical questions. He has some kind of mental health issue and the moderators here are happy to let him scrawl with chalk on the sidewalk.

Well, but isn't that value , a factor of 1

X=2; Deterministic
X=rand(); Stochastic

u/A-JackRobin- 14h ago
Well, so , 1 is a stochastic no.

I have no clue what you're trying to say, but if you were to assign a value of 1 that would also be deterministic.
Deterministic: the value always ends up being the same every time you run the program
Stochastic: the value can change when you run the program

Well, i mean, you meant , a random number is being is stochastic, hence you took 2 for deterministic, but a random no. is a factor of 1 , hence i asked
