Empire State Building Bet

Question 1

Use seed() to set the seed; as an argument, pass 123. Then, generate your first random float with rand() and print it out.

Answer 1

np.random.seed(123)

print(np.random.rand())

Question 2

how do i generate integers randomly?

Answer 2

randint()

Question 3

Use randint() with the appropriate arguments to randomly generate the integer 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. This simulates a dice

Answer 3

print(np.random.randint(1, 7))

Question 4

If step = 50, use if-elif-else statement, If dice is 1 or 2, you go one step down. If dice is 3, 4 or 5, you go one step up. Else, you throw the dice again. The number on the dice is the number of steps you go up.

Answer 4

if dice <= 2 :
step = step - 1
elif dice <= 5 :
step = step+1
else :
step = step + np.random.randint(1,7)

print(dice)
print(step)

Question 5

What is a random walk?

Answer 5

Succession of random steps, like financial status of a gambler

Question 6

Specify the beginning of a for loop so that the random walk is simulated five times.

Answer 6

for i in range(5) :

Question 7

After a random_walk array is entirely populated, how do you append it to the all_walks list?

Answer 7

all_walks.append(random_walk)

Question 8

Convert all_walks to NumPy array: np_aw

Answer 8

np_aw = np.array(all_walks)

Question 9

Plot np_aw and show

Answer 9

plt.plot(np_aw)
plt.show()

Question 10

Transpose np_aw: np_aw_t

Answer 10

np_aw_t = np.transpose(np_aw)

Question 11

Finish the if condition so that step is set to 0 if a random float is less or equal to 0.005. Use np.random.rand():

if ___:
step = 0

Answer 11

if np.random.rand() <= 0.005 :
step = 0
