New submission from Raymond Hettinger <[email protected]>:
This a small snippet of code I written dozens of times. It would be nice to
have this in the library along with the other distributions.
def binomialvariate(n, p):
''' Binomial distribution for the number of successes
in *n* Bernoulli trials each with a probability *p*
of success.
Returns an integer in the range: 0 <= X <= n
'''
return sum(random() < p for i in range(n))
