Basketball Probability	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Computer	Lesson Plan	[0]
This is an extended Logo investigation of probabilities and of modeling real-life situations: that of a 1 and 1 shooter in basketball, and the expected probabilities arising from past performance. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Bertrand's Experiment	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
Demonstration of the probability that a chord of a circle falls within an inscribed equilateral triangle. Three ways of "randomizing" the chord result in different probability distributions. Require... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Biased Rectangles?	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Fathom	Lesson Plan	[1]

Binomial Coin Experiment	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
Simulates tosses of from 1 to 60 coins with user-chosen probability of heads; compiles both number and proportion of heads, with theoretical and empirical distributions. Requires a MathPlayer plugin ... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Birthday Experiment	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
This simulator extends the classic birthday problem: user sets the number of days in a year and the number of people in a room. Birthdays are assigned at random, and the user may examine either disti... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Box Model	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[1]
Using this virtual manipulative you may: add data points to the draw box; simulate random draws from a box; compare actual draws with probability More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Buffon's Coin Experiment	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
Simulates the probability of a coin, dropped at random on a checkerboard, landing fully within a square. Radius of coin can be adjusted. Requires a (free) MathPlayer plugin. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Buffon's Needle Experiment	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
A fairly sophisticated version of the needle dropped on a wooden floor problem. Detailed analysis of theoretical probability, lots of control on parameters. Requires a MathPlayer plugin (free downlo... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Central Limit Theorem Activity	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Activity	[1]
This activity represents a very general demonstration of the effects of the Central Limit Theorem (CLT). The activity is based on the SOCR Sampling Distribution CLT Experiment and provides the capabil... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
