  • Guided Project
  • 0.8 hours
  • Intermediate
  • Python

Practice applying probability and combinatorics by writing Python functions to build a mobile app's core logic for estimating lottery odds.

Overview

In this project, you'll work with a medical institute to build a mobile app that helps lottery addicts better estimate their chances of winning. Using Python programming and probability skills, you'll write functions to calculate various lottery probabilities. This practical project allows you to apply probability and combinatorics concepts to a real-world scenario. You'll build an app feature from scratch, enhancing your analytical and Python abilities while creating a unique portfolio piece. Objective: Develop a mobile app feature that provides lottery addicts more realistic odds of winning. If you're new to Python or need a refresher, consider our Python for Data Science Fundamentals course.
