rflip(n = 1, prob = 0.5, quiet = FALSE, verbose = !quiet,
  summarize = FALSE, summarise = summarize)
# S3 method for cointoss
print(x, ...)
nflip(n = 1, prob = 0.5, ...)

Arguments

the number of coins to toss

prob

probability of heads on each toss

for nflip, a numeric vector

Examples

# NOT RUN {
rflip(10)
rflip(10, prob = 1/6, quiet = TRUE)
rflip(10, prob = 1/6, summarize = TRUE)
do(5) * rflip(10)
as.numeric(rflip(10))
nflip(10)
# }
