Click on "Roll One Set" several times to see what is happening. Then speed up the process by clicking on "Roll 10 Sets" and then "Roll 100 Sets."

Simulations in Seeing Statistics are immediate and graphical.

They replace student simulation exercises like these:

RANDom 10 C4-C5;
  DISCrete C1 C2.
LET C6=(C4+C5)/2.
