My explanation for the section1.
let's see this,

agree that it's total random.]

No, it's not. Its *this* specific sequence, and for that reason not random. Look, why don't you just start with your homework - "randomness" is nothing that can be attributed to a specific sequence. It is something that can be attributed to a specific *source* generating symbols.

case2) 4 8 10 12 16 20 22 24 26 30 32 36 40 44 48 50 64
[what will you call this type of data?]

A monotonically increasing sequence of natural numbers generated by a source that alternatively adds four or two to the previous number. *This* sequence is no more and no less random than the sequence before - it is not at all random. Randomness cannot be proven "by example". It is an assumption you make on a source generating symbols. If your source is such that it adds with probability 0.5 2 and with probability 0.5 4 to the previous symbol, then *that* is a random source - a Markov first order random source.

So long,
Thomas
