Abstract

Denote by xx a random infinite path in the graph of Pascal's triangle (left and right turns are selected independently with fixed probabilities) and by dn(x)d_n(x) the binomial coefficient at the nn'th level along the path xx. Then for a dense GδG_{\delta} set of θ\theta in the unit interval, {dn(x)θ}\{d_n(x)\theta \} is almost surely dense but not uniformly distributed modulo 1.
