Zack_M_Davis comments on Drawing Two Aces

[Zack_M_Davis]

I get 36.0.

#!/usr/bin/python
 from random import random
 trials=200
 hits=0
 for i in range(trials):
         x=random()
         y=random()
         if x<.7:
                 if y<.5:
                         hits+=1
 print 100*(float(hits)/float(trials))

It’s samping variation. Set trials = 1e9 and see what you get.
