Ball-Mixing Activity: 4 Balls ...	Probability (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[1]
We have 4 balls--2 reds and 2 greens. We drop them randomly into 2 boxes. Are the colors mixed or separate? Use this applet to experiment. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Banach Match Box Problem	Probability Models (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
Two boxes have the same number of matches. A coin is tossed to determine which box a match is taken from. Coin toss repeats until the chosen box is empty; the number of matches remaining in the othe... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Bertrand's Experiment	Continuous Random Vars (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,...
Binomial Coin Experiment	Binomial Distributions (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	Discrete Random Variables (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,...
Blaze	Randomness (Probability & Statistics)+	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
Students do a simulation of a forest burning down where they are able to control the density of the forest while learning about probability and chaos. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Box Model	Probability Models (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 Needle	Geometric Distributions (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[1]
Simulates dropping needles on a lined sheet of paper and determining the probability of the needles crossing one of the lines on the page. The result is that the probability is directly related to the... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Buffon's Coin Experiment	Randomness (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	Randomness (Probability & Statistics)+	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
