Chance Lab

Set sample parameters and watch as the results trend toward the mathematical expectation.

Made for a stats period. No account. Nothing to install. Works on a projector or smartboard.

Solid bars show the sample results. Fine horizontal lines indicate the mathematical expectation.

Chance Lab

Sample an experiment. Watch frequency settle onto theory. Then condition.

Relative frequency is noisy at first. As the sample grows, the observed share of heads settles onto 50%. That settling is the law of large numbers — not a promise about the next flip.

Sequences

Solid bars are observed. Hairline marks are theory.

Running P(A)

The wandering estimate should settle onto the dashed theory line.
