Remarks
Returns a pseudorandomly chosen boolean
value.
The default implementation tests the high-order bit (sign bit) of a value produced by RandomGenerator#nextInt() nextInt
(), on the grounds that some algorithms for pseudorandom number generation produce values whose high-order bits have better statistical quality than the low-order bits.
