Note:

With each rand execution, the TI-84 Plus CE generates the same random-number sequence for a given seed value. The TI-84 Plus CE factory-set seed value for rand is 0. To generate a different random-number sequence, store any nonzero seed value to rand. To restore the factory-set seed value, store 0 to rand, or reset the defaults by going to yL7:Reset... 2:Defaults....
The seed value also affects randInt(, randNorm(, and randBin( instructions.
