what would be the most accurate rarity logic for example for pet system?

here is what i made for it

function EggService:SelectRandomPet(eggname: string)
    local totalchance = 0
    local tempchance = 0

    for _, chance in pairs(EggModule.GetAllPets(eggname)) do
        totalchance += chance
    end

    local RandomNum = math.random() * totalchance

    for petname, chance in pairs(EggModule.GetAllPets(eggname)) do
        tempchance += chance
        if RandomNum <= tempchance then
            return petname
        end
    end
end

do you think its accurate ?

Floats have about 7 digits of precision, so as long as all your chancse are much more than 1 / 10^7, it is proportionally accurate.
