2 '''Simulate stats for showing segments are the same as the whole'''
3 # Simulate normal distributions of coin flips with slightly
4 # unfair coins
5 # Usage: distr_3.py segsize flipcount nsegs max-bias
6 # Requires python3.6 as of 2021-07-28
7 # Runs nsegs*segsize experiments, each involving flipcount flips.
8 # Experiments in a given segment have a bias around 0.5,
9 # randomly chosen between 0 and max-bias (which must be < 0.5
