Question

uestion 2. Using a simulation with 10,000 trials, assign num_different to the number of times, in 10,000 trials, that two words picked uniformly at random (with replacement) from Pride and Prejudice have different lengths. Hint 1: What function did we use in section 1 to sample at random with replacement from an array? Hint 2: Remember that != checks for non-equality between two items.

Answer 1

Answer:

This simulation will be done using Python programming language

# Program is written in Python

# Comments are used for explanatory purpose

# Program starts here

stringtocheck = open('PrideAndPrejudice.txt', encoding='utf-8').

read()

#Split words

splitwords = np.array(string.split())

In []:

# Initialise trial simulation to 10000 in test variable

test = 10000

# Initialise diff to 0

diff = 0

# iterate for possible words in PrideAndPrejudice

for i in np.arange(test):

# search for 2 words

words = np.random.choice(splitwords, 2)

#implement the condition in hint above

iflen(words.item(0)) != len(words.item(1)) != len(words.item(2)) != len(words.item(0)):

#calcuate result

diff = diff + 1

num_different = diff/test
