Description

The poker dice experiment consists of rolling 5 fair dice. Random variable V denotes the value of the hand:

  1. all distinct
  2. one pair
  3. two pair
  4. three of a kind
  5. full house
  6. four of a kind
  7. five of a kind

The value V is displayed on each update in the data table. The probability density function of V is shown in blue in the distribution graph and recorded in the distribution table. On each update, the empirical density function of V is shown in red in the distribution graph and recorded in the distribution table. The simulation can be set to stop automatically when V is a particular value.
