Dice Experiments Dialog Box
This dialog box is used to create a set of data points mimicking the rolling of dice that are saved in the currently selected tab in the Data window. This is intended to aid in demonstrating how adding dice tends to the normal distribution and multiplying dice tends to the lognormal distribution.
Operation Radio Group Box: Select whether to add or multiply dice.
Number Dice Edit Box: Specifies the number of dice to roll and either add or multiply together in order to create a single data point. Must be an integer from 1 to 20.
Number Data Points Edit Combo Box: Enter the number of data points to generate. Must be an integer from 1 to 10000.
Click the Roll the Dice button to generate the data and save it in the currently selected tab of the Data window. If the tab already contains data, you are prompted to make sure it is OK to overwrite the data. To exit without generating any data, click the Cancel button or press the Esc key.
This dialog box is displayed by selecting the Dice Experiments menu item.
