For the histogram, we use the pylab library. We also use the random library to simulate the dice rolls.
We first set the random seed to a fixed value. This allows you to reproduce the results I have shown exactly.
Next, we simulate rolling the dice 1,000 times and record the results in an array. In this case, we are just recording the total of the two faces of the pair of dice.
Finally, we tell pylab to generate a histogram of the data. We are defining the size of the bins or collection points of the data for the display since we know exactly what the data is going to look like.
Also, we have to tell pylab to show the histogram. This allows pylab to keep a working copy of the graph in memory; it's for you to make further adjustments ...
