How Random!	Simulating Experiments (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,...
What's Normal, Anyway?	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	TI-Nspire	Activity	[0]
In this activity, students explore the normal distribution and several of its most interesting properties. First, they use a histogram of data from a binomial experiment to examine the general shape o... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Biased Rectangles?	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Fathom	Lesson Plan	[1]
Students explore one example of how bias affects the mean. This simulation increases students' understanding of the significance of sample size on the calculation of the mean. Exploring t... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Conditional Probability and Pr...	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Lesson Plan	[0]

The proper meaning of the term "fair." More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Galton's Quincunx	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Flash	Tool	[0]
Francis Galton was a pioneer in the study of heredity and statistics. His quincunx (a pattern of five dots, as on dice) is modeled in this Flash activity. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
A Better Fire!	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[2]
See the chaos theory played out in forest fire simulations. More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Ball and Urn Experiment	Simulating Experiments (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,...
Ball-Mixing Activity: 4 Balls ...	Simulating Experiments (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[0]
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	Simulating Experiments (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	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,...
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	[0]
