Table 5 For the specious randomness file based on two concatenated 24-bit number systems, the probability to get some value a, lower than the cumulative distribution function Eq. (19) is tabulated for different n-grams ≤24, using non-overlapping counting (column 2). We know that for \(n=1,2,3,4,6,8,12\) and 24, all n-grams occur equally frequently, therefore the sequence is skip-balanced for those n-values. In column 3 we tabulate the corresponding result when overlapping n-gram counting was used
