When I…  
duplicate a screen with numbers that are randomly generated on a graph, the randomized numbers on the new screen match the previous screen.

I saw…  
that if I delete the graph and create a new one, the graph behaves as expected (generating a new set of randomized values).

I expected…  
the graph to generate a new set of randomized values that can be utilized as long as the new graph is given a new name.
