Applets
Title Description
Normal Probability Applet This applet gives a visualization of z-scores and the area under a curve.
Coin Toss Simulation This applet lets you toss a coin from 1-200 times. You can also change the probability of getting heads. This applet will show the graph of the tosses the fraction of heads or tails out of those tosses.
Let's Make A Deal This applet has you play the game that a car is behind one of three doors and a goat is behind the other two. You pick a door then the host reveals one of the doors you didn't pick to show you a goat. You are then able to switch or keep your original door. It then displays the data of how many people have played and the percentage of winning when you stay and when you switch.
Dice Probabilities Users can view probability distributions, in both tabular and graphical format, of random variables arising from rolling a specified number of dice (1-10) with a given number of sides (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20).
Roulette Simulation In this applet, you can study the behavior of the wheel through a small number of spins, as well as a large number. You can also investigate the probability of certain sets of outcomes or events.
