Open House - PLINKO!	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
Simulate the tumbling of a chip as it bounces down rows of offset pegs in the manner of the game from the American TV game show "The Price Is Right." More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Plinko and the Binomial Distri...	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
In the Java applet repeated independent Bernoulli trials are represented by a single ball falling through an array of pins. Each time a ball falls onto a pin, it will bounce to the right (i.e. a succe... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Poisson Experiment	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[4]
This applet allows the user to fix a rate and time interval for a Poisson process (counting the number of occurrences in a fixed time interval). Experimental and theoretical results, including expecte... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Probability	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[1]
Generate experimental probability results using a choice of a die, dice, spinner, suits, cards, or coin. Compare the experimental probability results to the theoretical probability. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Problem of Points Experiment	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
Demonstrates the probability distribution (theoretical and empirical) for tossing a coin until you get n heads or m tails, whichever comes first. User sets n, m, and probability of heads. Requires M... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Quincunx	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
A quincunx board starts with 1 pin on the frist row, 2 pins on the second rows, 3 pins on the third row, and so on. Multiple balls are then dropped onto the top pin. As the balls fall to the bottom, t... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Roulette Experiment	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[1]
