Hi, Reading about a "Heads and Tails" game in http://www.dartmouth.edu/~chance/teaching_aids/books_articles/probability_book/amsbook.mac.pdf Introduction to Probability (Example 1.4, pp. 5-8). You toss a coin 40 times. If heads, Peter wins $1, tails, he loses $1. I think I can do that ok with: winnings <- sum(sample(c(-1,1), 40, replace=TRUE)) But I have to do it 10,000 times
