在 Python 中随机替换列表中的元素

Question

I have a list of words

words=['hello', 'test', 'whatever', 'hello', 'apple', 'test','hello',......]

and I want to randomly replace half (can be rounded down/up by one) of the instances of some elements in the list (that are stored in another list) like 'test' and 'hello' with the the words reversed ie I'd want my new list to look something like:

['olleh', 'test', 'whatever', 'hello', 'apple', 'tset','olleh',......] (here I am working with the words test and hello)

How would I do this?

I know to reverse the words I can simply do reversed_words = [i[::-1] for i in words] but I'm more unsure about the randomly selecting half the occurances part.
