Fixed Example from an ancient Python book from Chris Fehily

# Reference: Python (c) 2002, page xviii
import random
rand = random.random

experiments, flips = 500, 16
heads = [0] * (flips +1)
print(f"Flips: {flips}, len(heads): {len(heads)}, \nheads: {heads}")
for i in range(experiments):
    count, toto = 0, 0
    # Previously for j in range(len(heads))
    for j in range(flips):
        if rand() < 0.50: count += 1
    heads[count] += 1
    
for j in range(flips + 1):
    print("%2d " %j,end="")
    i = 0
    while i < heads[j]:
        print("*",end="")
        i += 10
    print()

Line 3/11 was uneccessary, I just like the way "rand()" looks.
