Lesson 2: Simulating randomness

Generating random numbers

A game developer is working on a soccer video game.

This incomplete code segment is run when a player attempts a goal from outside the 6 yard box:

inGoal ← false
IF (<MISSING CONDITION>)
{
    inGoal ← true
    DISPLAY("Goal!")
}
ELSE 
{
    DISPLAY("Miss!")
}

At that distance, the code should give the player a 30% chance of making the goal.

Which of these can replace <MISSING CONDITION> so that the code works as intended?
