Activity Overview
Explore probability theory with interactive animation that simulates the rolling of dice, tossing of
coins and generating random numbers. Evaluation options include bar graphs, table of trials data,
settings for specifying number of trials, ways to collect data and weighting. In addition, students
can export data for further exploration.
