How can I implement chance/probability into Python?

Question

I want to have Python print "Yes" 70% of the time, and "No" 30% of the time. How should I go about doing so?

How would you do it manually, e.g. with a pencil and paper? – ChrisGPT was on strike Dec 31 '20 at 16:28 — ChrisGPT was on strike, Dec 31 '20 at 16:28

You can use the random module:

from random import random
while True:
    prob = random()
    if prob >= 0.3:
        print("Yes")
    else:
        print("No")
