Simulating the probability of A, B, and C
Randomly simulate 100,000 flips of A (40% chance), B (20% chance), and C (70% chance). What fraction of the time do all three coins come up heads?

Exercise instructions
- You've already simulated A and B. Now simulate 100,000 flips of coin C, where each has a 70% chance of coming up heads.
- Use
A
,B
, andC
to estimate the probability that all three coins would come up heads.
Hands-on interactive exercise
Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.
# You've already simulated 100,000 flips of coins A and B
A <- rbinom(100000, 1, .4)
B <- rbinom(100000, 1, .2)
# Simulate 100,000 flips of coin C (70% chance of heads)
# Estimate the probability A, B, and C are all heads
