About this Simulation

The Galton Board simulation models the classic probability apparatus where balls fall through a triangular grid of pegs, randomly deflecting left or right at each collision. Learners observe how individual random events combine to create predictable statistical patterns, demonstrating the emergence of a bell curve distribution and the relationship between probability and binomial coefficients.

Learning objectives: Understand how random individual events generate predictable probability distributions | Visualize the connection between Pascal's triangle and binomial probability | Explore the central limit theorem and normal distribution formation
