With iodide, the solvate $\ce{NaI \cdot 3(CH3)2CO}$ can be formed, in which each $\ce{Na+}$ is coordinated by 6 acetone ligands via oxygen lone pairs, and the $\ce{I-}$ ions fill in the gaps between these octahedral units, being surrounded by the methyl groups of the acetones.
Randomization is a sampling method used in scientific experiments. It is commonly used in randomized controlled trials in experimental research.
A random process is a sequence of random variables whose outcomes do not follow a deterministic pattern, but follow an evolution described by probability distributions. These and other constructs are extremely useful in probability theory and the various applications of randomness.
