Tides Explained with Simulations
Simulating why there are 2 tidal bulges. The differential gravity causes what seems to be to bulges of water on both sides of the earth. Why? A better explanation is to see these bulges as vector forces. I'm also explaining why there...

Calculating Pi with Darts
Pi can be calculated using a random sample of darts thrown at a square and circle target. The problem with this method lies in attempting to throw "randomly." We explored different ways to overcome our errors. A million thanks to Derek...

Analyzing the Likelihood of a Hypothesis through Sampling Distribution
In this video, the teacher explains how to determine the likelihood that a hypothesis is reasonable by approximating a sampling distribution and analyzing the results. The example used is whether a majority of students in a state are in...

Using Simulation to Test the Fairness of a Coin
In this video, the teacher explains how to determine if a model is consistent with the results by performing a simulation with random numbers. The example used is flipping a coin to determine who washes the dishes, and the teacher...

Virtual Nerd: How Do You Use a Simulation to Solve a Problem?
Simulators are a great way to model an experiment without actually performing the experiment in real life. This tutorial looks at using a simulator to figure out what might happen if you randomly guessed on a true/false quiz. [7:13]
