[Tutor] Need help with two similar test cases that I have written. One works and the other fails

I agree, That's the mistake I made. I fixed it as follows:

    def test_red_temperature_simulation(self):
        """
        Method to test the red_temperature_simulation method
        """
        for i in range(1000000):
            test_value = red_temperature_simulation()
            self.assertTrue((test_value < 100.0) or (test_value > 103.0),
                            msg="Test failed for {}".format(test_value))

And now everything works the way it should.

Thanks for all your help :)
