π¬ Plinko Probability
Drop balls through a triangular grid of pegs and watch the outcomes pile up into a distribution.
Try this: Increase the number of rows and drop many balls at once. Switch to the histogram view.
Look for: See how the pile of balls approaches a smooth bell-shaped (binomial) distribution as you drop more of them.
