2.4 - The random Module

Which Python module is used for generating random numbers as mentioned in the text?

• sys

• os

• random

• math

What function from the random module is used to generate a random integer within a specified range?

• random.random()

• random.randint()

• random.randrange()

• random.uniform()

What is the purpose of the third argument in the random.randrange() function?

• It specifies the seed value.

• It specifies the step value.

• It specifies the upper bound.

• It specifies the lower bound.

When using random.randrange(11, 30, 2) to generate random even numbers, why is the upper bound set to 30 instead of 31?

• To ensure that 30 is included in the range.

• To ensure that 31 is included in the range.

• To generate only odd numbers.

• To generate a random float number.

What is the range of values that random.random() can generate?

• Between 0 and 1 (excluding 1)

• Between 1 and 10 (including 10)

• Between 0 and 100 (excluding 100)

• Between -1 and 1 (including 1)

What is the purpose of the random.choice() function in Python?

• To generate a random number within a specified range

• To select a random element from a sequence

• To shuffle the elements of a list randomly

• To generate a random floating-point number

How can you simulate a loaded die that is more likely to roll a 4 using Python's random module?

• By creating a list with more occurrences of the number 4 and using random.choice()

• By using the random.randint() function with biased arguments

• By calling random.random() and mapping the result to the number 4

• By using the random.shuffle() function on a list containing the number 4

According to the example provided, what will the output be if you run the code to simulate a loaded die 20-30 times?

• Approximately half of the rolls will be the number 6

• Each number from 1 to 6 will appear an equal number of times

• The number 6 will never appear

• The output will be completely random with no predictable pattern

Why is it not recommended to enter the values directly into the choice function?

• Because it is less efficient than using a variable

• Because choice only accepts sequence data types

• Because it makes the code harder to read and maintain

• It is always possible to enter the values directly into the function

Why does the code snippet provided in the image produce a run-time error?

• The random.choice function is used incorrectly.

• The loaded_die variable is not defined.

• The tuple loaded_die has an incorrect number of elements.

• The code will not produce an error.
