#. Imagine rolling a fair, six-sided die, and then flipping a fair, two-sided coin the number of times specified with the die (i.e., if we roll a 3, flip the coin 3 times). Let X be the number of heads you get in this experiment. Use a simulation in R to estimate the mean, median and mode of X.
#replicate
set.seed(110)
sims = 1000
#keep track of X
X = rep(0, sims)
#run the loop
for(i in 1:sims){
#generate a roll
roll = sample(1:6, 1)
#flip the coin the specified number of times
for(j in 1:roll){
#flip the coin
#recall that 'runif(1)' draws a random value between 0 and 1, so
# count 'heads' as getting a value below 1/2
flip = runif(1)
#see if we got heads; increment if we did
if(flip <= 1/2){
X[i] = X[i] + 1
}
}
}
#find the mean and median
mean(X); median(X)
The default highlighting language is Python:
it can be be changed using the highlight
directive
within a document:
.. highlight:: html
The literal blocks are now highlighted as HTML, until a new directive is found.
::
<html><head></head>
<body>This is a text.</body>
</html>
The following directive changes the hightlight language to SQL.
.. highlight:: sql
::
SELECT * FROM mytable
.. highlight:: none
From here on no highlighting will be done.
::
SELECT * FROM mytable
def some_function():
interesting = False
print 'This line is highlighted.'
print 'This one is not...'
print '...but this one is.'
