Question
heads = 0tails = 0repeat 1000 times: pick an integer in [0,99] by using randrange() if it is less than 75: heads = heads + 1 else: tails = tails + 1print(tails)Which one is the most likely outcome compared to the others?
Solution
The most likely outcome is that the number of 'tails' will be around 250. This is because the random number generator is set to produce a 'head' 75% of the time (any number less than 75 out of a range of 0-99) and a 'tail' 25% of the time (any number 75 or greater). Over 1000 trials, we would therefore expect roughly 750 'heads' and 250 'tails'.
