An ancient club is found that contains 180 g of pure carbon and has an activity of 5.5 decays per second. Determine its age assuming that in living trees the ratio of (14C12C)(14C12C) atoms is about 1.40×10−121.40×10−12. Note that the half life of carbon-14 is 5700 years and the Avogadro number is 6.02×10236.02×1023.

Write the functions necessary to simulate a gambling game with the following rules:

The winner is the player who has a total closest to 9 without going over.

1. The player "rolls" 2 dice (6 sided dice)

2. The computer "rolls" 2 dice (6 sided dice)

3. The user is asked whether they want to roll one more time. If they indicate they do, another dice is rolled and added to the player's total.

4. A message is printed indicating the winner. In the case of a tie, the player wins. If both the computer and player go over 9, the computer wins.

5. YOU MAY ASSUME THAT THE USER ENTERS A VALID INTEGER (1 or 2) AS THEIR CHOICE.

You may NOT change the main function except to insert the if statement and print statements as indicated.

# define functions
def rollDice():
# function returns a random number between 1 and 6

def userWon(t1, t2):
# function accepts player total and computer total
# function returns true if player wins
# function returns false if computer wins

def main():
# each player rolls two Dice
player = rollDice() + rollDice()
computer = rollDice() + rollDice()
# ask the player if they want to roll again
again = int(input("Please enter 1 to roll again. Enter 2 to hold."))
# roll again if needed and add to player's total
if again == 1:
player = player + rollDice()

# insert your if statement here to determine the winner
# and your appropriate print statements

main()
