| − | A ''simply normal number to base 10'' is a ''normal number to base 10'', if not only single digits appear with the frequency of 1/10 in the long run, but each sequence of two digits {00,01,02,... ,98,99} can be found with the frequency of 1/100, each sequence of three digits with a frequency of 1/1000, and in general, each sequence of ''n'' digits will appear with a frequency of approximately 10<sup>-n</sup> when looking up more and more decimal places. | + | A ''simply normal number to base 10'' is a '''normal number to base 10''', if not only single digits appear with the frequency of 1/10 in the long run, but each sequence of two digits {00,01,02,... ,98,99} can be found with the frequency of 1/100, each sequence of three digits with a frequency of 1/1000, and in general, each sequence of ''n'' digits will appear with a frequency of approximately 10<sup>-n</sup> when looking up more and more decimal places. |
