    Students investigate a binomial distribution of the survival rate of Emperor penguin eggs by creating a list of 50 simulations using the Random Binomial, randBin, command. This effectively simulates data with a given probability of success. Then students will sort the data to determine the experimental probability for a given number of eggs surviving.
