Checkpoint B
If this population plays (and loses) the lottery 2 times:
- It could become [0,3,4,5,6], if the first individual played twice
- Or it could become [2,3,4,4,5], if the last two individuals each played once
- etc
Continuing the example, scholarships might then award a total of $3 of awards to the population in the form of $1 scholarships. If the wealth had originally been [0,3,4,5,6], then:
- It could become[3,3,4,5,6], if the 1st individual got all three awards
- Or it could become [0,4,5,5,7], if it was distributed equally among the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th individuals
- etc
We assume the lottery system is backed by a relatively huge pool of capital, so that scholarships are awarded no matter how many lottery winners there are. We also assume who plays the lottery and who benefits from scholarships will be random, at the individual-level. Later, at the population-level, we will select behaviors for our simulation based on social science research.
The function generate_disparity_msg() returns a string summarizing the distribution of wealth. Here are examples of that analysis:
highIncomeList | lowIncomeList | Wealth Distribution |
---|---|---|
[2,3,4,5,6] | [6,5,4,3,2] | High income: 50% of wealth Low income: 50% of wealth |
[5, 6, 10, 14] | [1, 5, 7, 2] | High income: 70% of wealth Low income: 30% of wealth |
[4, 10, 2, 5, 8] | [2, 7] | High income: 76% of wealth Low income: 24% of wealth |
Implementation Strategy
Implement each function from the template following the description in their docstring:
- sim_lottery()
- award_scholarship()
- generate_disparity_msg()
For the messages returned by generate_disparity_msg(), adapt this fstring for your code:
msg = f"Decade {decade}: High income group " +\ f"has {highIncomePercent:.0f}% of the community's wealth. "+\ f"Low income group has {lowIncomePercent:.0f}% "+\ f"of the community's wealth."
