Exporting data lists
The data screen allows the user to export the trial data into lists. In this
section, the ' ROLL' list will contain the trial number, ' D1' , ' D2' , and
' D3' contain the results for each die, and ' SUM' contains the sum of the
numbers on each die.

Marbles Section
4.1
Setting up the simulation
This section has basically the same settings as the dice section. The only
main difference is the Marble Types setting. This can be 2, 3, 4 or 5, and
defines the number of separate types of marbles there will be.
Corresponding types of marbles are used in the animation for each of
those available. See SECTION 3.
4.1.2 Replace
4.2
Use of the section
Before you start the trials, there are a few things to note about this section.
First, if you have replace set to yes, there will be an "R" in the upper-left
hand side of the screen. Plus, since you are putting the marbles back into
the pot, you will not run out of marbles to choose. The marbles will
eventually run out if you do not replace them. In this case, a message will
appear after all the marbles have been depleted. Second, expect the
animation to be slightly different depending on the replace setting. In
order to perform more trials, you will have to either clear the data, or set
the replace setting to yes. This will in turn clear the data.
4.1.2 Exporting data lists
4.3
Exporting data lists
The data screen allows the user to export the trial data into lists. In this
section, the ' PICK' list will contain the trial number. The ' A' , ' B' , ' C",
' D' , and ' E' lists represent which marble was drawn for each trial. The
list representing the marble that was drawn will have a 1 stored for that
trial and all others will have a 0 stored.
When this is set to yes, each tile is replaced after it is drawn and
counted. If this is set to no, the marble is removed when it is
drawn.
The data screen allows the user to export the trial data into lists. In
this section, the ' ROLL' list will contain the trial number, ' D1' ,
' D2' , and ' D3' contain the results for each die, and ' SUM'
contains the sum of the numbers on each die.
