challenge8_Simulate_an_Election_result.py

""" With some help from the random module and a little condition logic,
you can simulate an election between two candidates.
Suppose two candidates, Candidate A and Candidate B, are running
for mayor in a city with three voting regions. The most recent polls
show that Candidate A has the following chances for winning in each
region:
• Region 1: 87% chance of winning
• Region 2: 65% chance of winning
• Region 3: 17% chance of winning
Write a program that simulates the election 10,000 times and prints
the percentage of where Candidate A wins.
To keep things simple, assume that a candidate wins the election is
they win in at least two of the three regions.
