Question

Write a short python program to simulate flipping a coin - generate a random number between 0 and 1, calling numbers < .5 tails and numbers >=.5 heads. have it run 10 iterations and present the number if heads. run this 10 times, recording the number of head for each trial. compute the average and standard deviation of the trial runs. (you could have the program repeat the trials ten times and have the program compute the statistics. you could also use a spreadsheet to compute the statistics.)

Answer 1

Try this:
import random
tries = 0
while tries < 100:
tries += 1
coin = random.randint(1, 2)
if coin == 1:
print('Heads')
if coin == 2:
print ('Tails')
total = tries
print(total)
