of two. Essentially, any bits above the next lowest power of two are less likely to be set. For example, xp_random(6) would use 3 bits of randomness with the following distribution: 000 = 0 001 = 1 010 = 2 011 = 3 100 = 4 101 = 5 110 = 0 111 = 1 As you can see, zero and one are twice as likely to occur than 2,3,4, or 5.
