Question

Can someone help me with this program in python?

Using this code how can I use the stopwatch module to filll out this table

 

Use the stopwatch  module to estimate how long your program runs. 

stake - initial amount you start with

goal - the amount you want to end with (you will either lose it all or make your goal)

trials - the number of times you want to run the experiment - run the experiment 100 times to get a more accurate estimate of the probability.  Do any empirical analysis using the doubling method.  Start with the stake = 500 and goal 1000 and continue to double until the stake = 1000000.
