I know how to generate a random number between 1 and 2 :
def random
return (1 + rand(2))

but let's say I would like to return 1 in 80% of the calls and 2 in
20% of the call...
which library should I use ? ( I've seen a lot at http://raa.ruby-lang.org/
)
No doubt there are better ways but something like
(rand(100) + 120)/100
should do it.

Well, perhaps something that reveals the intention better:
def usually_one
rand < 0.80 ? 1 : 2
end
