# Python Course homework 1

## Exercise 1

Recall that n!n! is read as “n^n factorial” and defined as n!=n\times(n-1)\times\cdots\times2\times1n!=n\times(n-1)\times\cdots\times2\times1

There are functions to compute this in various modules, but let’s write our own version as an exercise.

In particular, write a function factorial such that factorial(n) returns n!n! for any positive integer n.

def factorial(n):
if n < 2:
return 1
else:
return n*factorial(n-1)
n = int(input('please input any positive integer:'))
print(factorial(n))

## Exercise 2

The binomial random variable Y∼Bin(n,p)Y∼Bin(n,p) represents the number of successes in nn binary trials, where each trial succeeds with probability pp

Without any import besides from numpy.random import uniform, write a function binomial_rv such that binomial_rv(n, p) generates one draw of YY

Hint: If UU is uniform on (0,1)(0,1) and p∈(0,1)p∈(0,1), then the expression U < p evaluates to True with probability p

## Exercise 3

Compute an approximation to ππ using Monte Carlo. Use no imports besides

import numpy as np

• If is a bivariate uniform random variable on the unit square , then the probability that lies in a subset of is equal to the area of
• If U1,…,Un are iid copies of , then, as gets large, the fraction that fall in converges to the probability of landing in
• For a circle, area = pi * radius^2
