Câu hỏi thường gặp
How is "pick" different from "random"?
Pick = deterministic selection (first, last, middle). Random = stochastic (probability-based). Name picker = random pick.
Can I weight selections?
Yes. Assign probabilities. Item A: 70% chance, Item B: 30%. Common in weighted raffle systems.
Is picking unbiased?
Unweighted: equal probability each. Weighted: depends on weights. Source code should be transparent.
