Sleeping Beauty Coin Flip Experiment

Introduction

I was inspired to create a python scrip that would calculate the percentages in the Veritasium video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeSu9fBJ2sI

Usage

Two Options Available

Option 1

1. Download the executable file from the releases page here: https://github.com/steakbbq/sleeping_beauty_coin_flips/releases
2. Run the executable file

Option 2

1. Downlaod Python3 from https://www.python.org/downloads/
2. Open a command prompt and run the following commands:

python -m pip install -U pip

python -m pip install -U matplotlib

3. Navigate to the directory that has main.py and run the following command:

python main.py

Methodology

The program flips a coin, the three strategies keep track of wins and the percentage is how many times each strategy guessed correctly.

If tails is flipped, another coin is flipped and the result is tracked.
