public class DiceExperiment
extends Experiment
implements java.io.Serializable

This class models a basic experiment that consists of rolling n dice. The random variables of interest are the sum of scores, the average score, the maximum score, the minimum score, and the number of ones. The number of dice and the die distribution can be varied.

This method defines the experiment. The dice are rolled and the values of the random variables computed.

Specified by:

doExperiment in interface IExperiment

Overrides:

doExperiment in class Experiment

step

public void step()

This method runs the experiment one time, adding additional sound and annimation.

Specified by:

step in interface IExperiment

Overrides:

step in class Experiment

run

public void run()

This method stops the step process, if necessary, and then calls the usual run method.

Overrides:

run in class Experiment

stop

public void stop()

This method stops the step process, if necessary, and then calls the usual stop method.

Specified by:
