What is a Random Value?

"Random Values are a number generated using a large set of numbers and a mathematical algorithm which gives equal probability to all number occuring"

Each Result from randomization is equally likely to occur Using random number generation in a program means each execution may produce a different result

What are Examples of Random outputs in the world? Add a few you can think of Ex: Marbles

import random
random_number = random.randint(1,100)
print(random_number)

95

def randomlist():
    list = ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "blueberry"]
    element = random.choice(list)
    print(element)
randomlist()

cherry

Real Life Examples: Dice Roll

import random
for i in range(3):
    roll = random.randint(1,6)
    print("Roll " + str(i + 1) + ":" + str(roll))

Roll 1:6
Roll 2:5
Roll 3:2

Challenge #1

Write a function that will a simulate a coinflip and print the output

def coinflip():
    #Write your code here

EXTRA: Create a function that will randomly select 5 playing Cards and check if the 5 cards are a Royal Flush

Homework

Given a random decimal number convert it into binary as Extra convert it to hexidecimal as well.
