Ball and Urn Experiment	Discrete Random Variables (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[1]
Simulates drawing balls from an urn, with or without replacement. Specify number of balls, number of red balls, and number drawn. Requires a MathPlayer plugin (free). More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Poisson Experiment	Discrete Random Variables (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,...
Coin Toss	Discrete Random Variables (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[3]
Explore probability concepts by simulating repeated coin tosses. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Chocolate Chip Simulation	Discrete Random Variables (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[1]
Simulate random placement of any number of chocolate chips on 100 cookies. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Poisson Processes	Discrete Random Variables (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Activity	[0]
Guides students through exploration of properties of the Poisson and Exponential distributions (applets embedded). More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Law of Large Numbers Activity	Discrete Random Variables (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Activity	[0]
This is part I of a heterogeneous activity that demonstrates the theory and applications of the Law of Large Numbers (LLN). Part II of this activity contains more examples and diverse experiments. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
How Random!	Discrete Random Variables (Probability & Statistics)	TI-Nspire	Activity	[0]
In this activity, students use simulations and graphs to explore the common-sense notion that repeatedly ﬂipping a coin results in �heads up� about half of the time. First, students simulate an... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Negative Binomial Experiment	Discrete Random Variables (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
Simulates counting number of Bernoulli trials until "k" successes occur (if k = 1, result is Geometric distribution). Requires a MathPlayer plugin (free). More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Problem of Points Experiment	Discrete Random Variables (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,...
Matching Experiment	Discrete Random Variables (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
In a permutation of n objects, a match occurs if the k'th object is numbered k. This simulation counts the number of matches in a random permutation. Requires a MathPlayer plugin (free). 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,...
Coupon Collector Experiment	Discrete Random Variables (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
The experiment consists of sampling with replacement from the population of m objects until k distinct values are obtained. The number of draws is recorded. This simulation is more general (but less... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Poker Experiment	Discrete Random Variables (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
Java applet that simulates poker hands (runs from Mozilla Firefox). Reports experimental and theoretical probabilities on nine different types of hands (5-card). More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Pollution and Peppered Moths	Discrete Random Variables (Probability & Statistics)	JavaScript	Tool	[0]
This model explores the effects of pollution and bird predation on the protective coloration of peppered moths (through directed selection). A series of questions guides students' explorations. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
