A Simple Solution for Really Hard Problems: Monte Carlo Simulation

Video Description

Today's video provides a conceptual overview of Monte Carlo simulation, a powerful, intuitive method to solve challenging probability questions. And we get to see how we can use it to answer a realistic question in Python! 0:00 Monte Carlo Applications 0:22 Party Problem: What is The Chance You'll Make It? 1:16 Monte Carlo Conceptual Overview 3:00 Monte Carlo Simulation in Python: NumPy and matplotlib 5:02 Party Problem: What Should You Do?
