APPLETSOURCEDESCRIPTION
Frequency DistributionCollection of Applets, Math Forum at Drexel (Palu)Lists all possible experimental outcomes and graphs probabilities of for tossing 1-4 dice or 1-10 coins.  more
Dice ProbabilitiesWolfram Demonstrations ProjectUsers 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). Requires download of Mathematica player and demo itself, good for classroom demonstration.  more
ProbabilityInteractive Business Stats (Lind, Marchal, Wathen)Simulates tossing of a die a specified number of times, recording outcomes (graphically and in table format) and frequencies for the event that the value is greater than 4, and comparing to theoretical.  more
Box ModelsCUWU Statistics Program (Marden)For dice, coins or user-defined population (box), takes samples, compares empirical distribution to theoretical, shows sample statistics and distribution of the mean and sums, shows long run probabilities.  more
Spinner ExperiementSiegrist and Duehring, accessed through SOCR (Statistics Online Computational Resource)Can select the number of sectors on a spinner (up to 200), adjust area of each if desired, output results of individual spins as well as the distribution, both observed and theoretical. Use for classroom simulations.  more
The Ball and Urn ExperimentSiegrist and Duehring, Virtual Laboratories in Probability and StatisticsUsers can simulate choosing a specified number of balls (with or without replacement) from urns containing a specified number of balls total and red balls, counting the number of red balls in each sample, and comparing observed to theoretical frequencies.  more
Coin Sample ExperimentVirtual Laboratories in Probability and Statistics (Siegrist, Duehring)Users can generate multiple samples of tossing a coin (either fair or unfair) a specified number of times and record outcomes. NOTE: xhtml files may not run in all browsers.  more
Binomial Coin ExperimentVirtual Laboratories in Probability and Statistics (Siegrist, Duehring)Users can generate multiple samples of tossing a coin a specified number of times with a specified probability of heads, and can view the distribution of the number of heads and compare to theoretical. NOTE: xhtml files may not run in all browsers.  more
