You want to simulate the results of a single coin flip, butit turns out the coin is biased. Suppose that there is a63% chance of the coin flip resulting in Tails. Assumingthat Heads is the only other option, describe carefullyhow you would use a random number x in the interval[0,1] to determine the outcome of the coin flip.
