> After running 10 million simulated draws, I got an answer of 0.0323, which matches the real answer very closely.
If you enjoyed reading about how you can approximate complex statistical values using basic programming, I highly recommend Jake Vanderplas "Statistics for Hackers" [0][1].
It converts the sometimes hard to grok statistics terms and formulas into some very simple loops and basic operations.
Those interested in this should read about DSMC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_simulation_Monte_Carlo. It’s the same idea for low density gas interactions without having to actually simulate all the particles involved while still getting accurate results. Cool stuff!

Can't recommend it enough.
