Carnival Probability Simulator

Carnival Probability Simulator brings probability theory to life through interactive carnival games. Students experiment with chance, theoretical vs. experimental probability, and statistical concepts while playing engaging mini-games that simulate real carnival scenarios.

Key Features:

• Multiple Carnival Games: Various probability games including wheel spins, dice rolls, card draws, and prize wheels that demonstrate different probability concepts.

• Real-Time Probability Calculations: Displays theoretical probability alongside experimental results as students play, showing how outcomes approach expected values over many trials.

• Trial Counter: Track the number of attempts, helping students understand the Law of Large Numbers - how experimental probability converges to theoretical probability with more trials.

• Visual Probability Representations: Colorful, engaging carnival-themed graphics make abstract probability concepts concrete and memorable.

• Results Tracking: Cumulative statistics show win/loss ratios, allowing students to compare their results with predicted probabilities.

• Fair vs. Unfair Games: Explore how carnival games might be designed to favor the house, teaching critical thinking about probability in real-world contexts.

• Reset and Replay: Easy restart functionality encourages experimentation with different strategies and observation of how outcomes vary.

Educational Value:

This simulator helps students understand that probability is not just abstract mathematics but applies to real-world scenarios. The carnival theme makes learning engaging while teaching:

- Theoretical vs. experimental probability

- Independent vs. dependent events

- Expected value and fairness

- The Law of Large Numbers

- Why "house always wins" in many carnival games

Perfect for middle and high school mathematics, statistics courses, and any curriculum addressing data analysis and probability. The game format reduces math anxiety while building deep conceptual understanding.
