Function should be
prop.no.matches = function(n){
matches = replicate(10000, scramble.hats(n))
sum(matches == 0) / 10000
}

It is said that there are 10,000 simulations, but the
R code says 100,000 simulations.

Should be

If murder.pct was created previously (as in the example using attach)
then it will remain as a global variable. To see what happens using
with(), try removing murder.pct:
> rm(murder.pct)
> with(USArrests, expr={
+ murder.pct = 100 * Murder / (Murder + Assault + Rape)
+ })
> murder.pct
Error: object 'murder.pct' not found
