Bertrand's Experiment	Geometric Distributions (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,...
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	Geometric Distributions (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	Geometric Distributions (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,...
Buffon's Needle: An Analysis a...	Geometric Distributions (Probability & Statistics)		Lesson Plan	[0]
Buffon's Needle is one of the oldest problems in the field of geometrical probability. It was first stated in 1777. It involves dropping a needle on a lined sheet of paper and determining the probabil... More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
Triangle Experiment	Geometric Distributions (Probability & Statistics)	Java Applet	Tool	[1]
Simulates the probability that a stick broken into three pieces at random forms a triangle. Fairly sophisticated display (and discussion). Requires a MathPlayer plugin (free). More: lessons, discussions, ratings, reviews,...
