Using the Random Class

Your Turn

For each of the practice items, create the necessary variables and assign them to random values in the given range using the Random class.

Practice 1: Randomized Clinical Trials

To eliminate bias, assign a participant to whether they are in a treatment group or control group. A value of true means treatment group and a value of false means control group.

1. Identify the variables that you will need as well as their types.
2. Create necessary variables.
3. Generate the random values needed using the Random class.

Practice 2: Simulate Weather Conditions

Model the initial weather conditions by providing values for temperature, wind speed, and rainfall.

• The value of temperature should be from -50C to 50C.
• The value of wind speed should be from 0 to 200 km/hr.
• The value of rainfall should be from 0 to 500mm.

1. Identify the variables that you will need as well as their types.
2. Create necessary variables.
3. Generate the random values needed using the Random class.

Practice 3: Video Game Content Generation

Establish the initial item placement and item rarity for a game.

• The item placement is at a location from (0, 0) to (1000, 1000).
• The item rarity is from 1 to 10.

1. Identify the variables that you will need as well as their types.
2. Create necessary variables.
3. Generate the random values needed using the Random class.

Practice 4: Randomizing Question Selection

Randomly select a quiz question from a bank of 5 questions.

1. Identify the variables that you will need as well as their types.
2. Create necessary variables.
3. Generate the random values needed using the Random class.

Practice 5: Randomly Select a Customer for a Survey

A customer has a 1 in 3 chance of being selected to complete a survey.

1. Identify the variables that you will need as well as their types.
2. Create necessary variables.
3. Generate the random values needed using the Random class.
