If that scales (I'm not sure if it does), it means that there will be a 50% chance of a collision when you have 6% of 2^288.
In other words, the probability of a collision is 50% when N is 6% of S.
= 23.

I'm guessing that most built in random generators return something like this:
[0.0, 1.0)
so if I would like a 50% chance would I use something like this:
if random() < .5
or something like:
if random() <= .5
Thanks for the help.

If I want 50% chance, I'd just check for the LSB (Least Significant Bit :)
random.choice([0, 1]) will give you 0/1 with equal chances -- and it is a standard part of Python, coded up)
import random def fifty....
It's never exactly ).

The novel I am currently trying to write has something of a "lefty-liberal" political slant to it. The protagonist of the story is a lefty-liberal character, who is trapped in a not-so-lefty-liberal story world/environment.
Could the politics of my novel...

This can be done without having to credit score.
Have a word with Halifax in branch, dont apply on line, ask them what your chances are before chances are of getting a credit card.

You find out if you pass or fail right away at the end of your test have slim chances of pasting the test for the first time.
