The loop is correct, you just need to make sure that your result is computed and stored as the n-th element that is returned by the loop. Pick up any manual of R, and looping will be explained there. Also, I would recommend that you draw a random number for every iteration of the loop. Defining the random vectors outside the loop make sense to me only if they are the same length as n.
prob<-numeric(1000) for (n in 1:1000) { task1 <- runif(1, min=0.8, max= 0.9) task2 <- runif(1, min=0.75, max= 0.85) task3 <- runif(1, min=0.81, max= 0.89) prob[n]<-task1*task2*task3 } If you wanted to store the individual probabilities (task1..3), you would proceed accordingly by defining them outside the loop and storing the value in the loop as the n-th element of that vector just like for prob.
