randomized
Assigned by chance
Randomized describes something arranged or selected by chance rather than by deliberate choice or systematic order.
A randomized clinical trial assigns participants to treatment or control groups randomly, eliminating selection bias.
Randomized playlists shuffle songs unpredictably.
The term implies a process has been applied: data doesn't start randomized but becomes so.
