Big Plinko Board--Data Collection

NOTE: Reproduce this page as many times as necessary to complete the simulation for the starting slots A, B, C, D, E (and F, G, H, I as you desire).

9-Column PLINKO Simulation

Run the PLINKO simulation program 4 times for each starting slot A, B, C, D, E and random starting slot. Enter 100 as your number of trials. Record your data.

Your data: Starting Slot _____. Record the number corresponding to each ending slot.

	# of trials	A’	B’	C’	D’	E’	F’	G’	H’	I’	Winnings
	100

Totals	400

Combine your data with the other students on your row:

Your row’s data: Starting slot _____.

Name	# of trials	A’	B’	C’	D’	E’	F’	G’	H’	I’	Winnings
