Question

Python 3 code

Write a function named coinflip that accepts an input called flips. The function should sim-ulate flipping a coin flips times. The function should return True if the coin was the same result for every flip. You can assume the function receives a positive integer as input.

Write a second function named simulation that runs trials of the coin flip experiment. simulation should accept two parameters: the number of trials, and the number of coin flips to do each trial. Return the percentage of trials that all the flips had the same result
