Exercise

Simulating the probability of A and B

You can also use simulation to estimate the probability of two events both happening.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Randomly simulate 100,000 flips of coin A, each of which has a 40% chance of being heads. Save this as a variable A.
  • Randomly simulate 100,000 flips of coin B, each of which has a 20% chance of being heads. Save this as a variable B.
  • Use the "and" operator (&) to combine the variables A and B to estimate the probability that both A and B are heads.
