Creating a Spinner to Examine Experimental and Theoretical Outcomes
Simulating the Spread of a Wildfire Using Probability
Create a game spinner with variable sized sectors to look at experimental and theoretical probabilities. Parameters: Sizes of sectors, number of sectors, number of trials.

Experiment with probability using a fixed size section spinner, a variable section spinner, two regular 6-sided dice or customized dice.

In this applet you can adjust the parameters on two Gaussian curves to determine if there is a possibility of a difference between the two means.

 
Spinner
Create a game spinner with one to twelve sectors in order to look at experimental and theoretical probabilities. Parameters: Number of sectors, number of trials.
