Tell us what’s happening:

Hi, really unsure why the final test case isnt passing. The probability values im getting are roughly around the same range (0.374,0.3768,0.354 etc etc). What exactly is expected especially since it says every test result is different too?

Your code so far


def experiment(hat, expected_balls, num_balls_drawn, num_experiments):
    success=0
    for i in range(num_experiments):
        drawn=hat.draw(num_balls_drawn)
        correct=True
        for j in expected_balls:
            if expected_balls[j]>drawn.count(j):
                correct=False
        if correct:
            success+=1
        hat.contents.extend(drawn)
    return success/num_experiments

Yes, every test result should return a different probability and your code does that. I do not know what error you are getting but I think it is similar to the issue I had.

It appears it does not like unused variables. Like you, I used a couple of unused variables in some for-loops and I was getting an assertion error. Try replacing your unused variables “i” in your draw and experiment methods with a “_”.

Try replacing the unused variables of your for loops with a blank. That solved my problem.
