Question

Write a function election(numVoters) that simulates an election between two candidates A and B, with numVoters voters, in which each voter randomly chooses candidate A 55% of the time. Return the fraction (between 0 and 1) of the voters who actually voted for candidate A in your simulation. finished in python

Answer 1

code in python (code to copy)

from random import choices

# This function election(numVoters) simulates 
# an election between two candidates A and B, 
# with numVoters voters, in which each voter 
# randomly chooses candidate A 55% of the time
def election(numVoters):
    # candidates in election
    candidates = ['A', 'B']
    # given in problem description that
    # people choose A 55% of the time
    # hence we create this distribution
    distribution = [0.55, 0.45]
    votes_for_A = 0
    # loop through number of voters to check their actual vote
    for i in range(numVoters):
        if(choices(candidates, distribution)[0]=='A'):
            votes_for_A = votes_for_A + 1
    # return the fraction of people who voted for A
    return votes_for_A/numVoters


# Lets do a simulation with 1 million voters
votes_for_A = election(1000000)
print(votes_for_A)
