How does the Galton Board relate to the normal distribution curve?

It incorporates Sir Francis Galton’s illustration of the binomial distribution, which for a large number of beads approximates the normal distribution. As the beads settle into the bins at the bottom of the board, they accumulate in approximately a bell curve.

What is the purpose of Galton Board?

The Galton Board is a device that is used to illustrate the binomial distribution, usually with little balls falling through grid of pegs where the balls bounce back and forth from one peg to another, to come to rest in little bins at the bottom.

How big is the Galton Board probability machine?

The Galton Board is a 7.5” by 4.5” desktop probability machine. This delightful little device brings to life the statistical concept of normal distribution. As you rotate the Galton Board on its axis, you set into motion a flow of steel beads that bounce with equal probability to the left or right through several rows of pegs.

How does normal distribution work on Galton Board?

This delightful little device brings to life the statistical concept of normal distribution. As you rotate the Galton Board on its axis, you set into motion a flow of steel beads that bounce with equal probability to the left or right through several rows of pegs.

Are there any theorems on the Galton Board?

The Galton Board incorporates many mathematical and statistical concepts, including the normal distribution or bell-shaped curve, the central limit theorem (the de Moivre-Laplace theorem)]

Where are the Fibonacci numbers on a Galton Board?

The Fibonacci numbers (Leonardo Fibonacci, 1175-1250), can also be found as the sums of specific diagonals in the triangle. The Galton Board is approved for STEM educational activities. When rotated on its axis, the 3,000 beads cascade through rows of symmetrically placed pegs in the desktop-sized Galton Board.
