Question

Yahtzee Simulation. Must be written in Python

These are the specific instructions:

"Write a function called Yahtzee_Simulation() that receives no parameters. The function will simulate rolling 5 dice at least one million times. It will keep track of the number of times the computer rolls a Yahtzee. The function will return the number of wins divided by the number of tries. There are no print() statements in this function.

Write a function called main() that receives no parameters. This function calls the Yahtzee_Simulation() function 10 times and prints the result of each simulation. Finally, print the mathematical result, which can be calculated with the following code: print(6/(6**5))"

This was also given as a hint:

The simulation runs 1000000 times
0.000774
0.000788
0.000729
0.000761
0.000777
0.000777
0.000777
0.000758
0.00077
0.000768
The mathematical solution is:  0.0007716049382716048

I've been struggling on how to do this, I think seeing an example of what it does and how it's made will help me when making my own, Thank you!

Answer 1

code:

import random

def yahtzee_simulation():

#roll 5 6-faced dices

wins = 0

#simulate one million times

for i in range(1000000):

#roll 5 dices,

dice1 = random.randint(1,7)

dice2 = random.randint(1,7)

dice3 = random.randint(1,7)

dice4 = random.randint(1,7)

dice5 = random.randint(1,7)

#check for a yahtzee

if dice1 == dice2 == dice3 == dice4 == dice5:

wins+=1

#return the probability

return wins/1000000

def main():

#simulate 10 times

for i in range(10):

print(yahtzee_simulation())

print("The mathematical solution is : ",6/(6**5))

main()
