2.2 Use of the section
After the settings are adjusted, the next step is to either select the data
view screen or start the trials. If you want to view the actual data of the
trials, make sure you are in the DATA section. The GRPH section will
show updated graphs of the trial data. When you are finished with the
trials, you can go to the GRPH section and use the left/right arrow keys to
select the columns. According to the setting data, either the frequency or
ratio information will be shown above the graph. The selected column can
be identified by a shading effect.
2.3 Exporting data lists
By using the data screen, the user can export data from a simulation into
lists on the calculator to enable further exploration of the data. The data
screen shows which lists the data will be exported into, but is not editable.
In this section, the ' TOSS' list will contain the toss number, ' C1' , ' C2' ,
and ' C3' contain the results for each coin (0 for tails and 1 for heads), and
' TOT' contains the total number of heads for each trial. If there was only
one coin used in the simulation, the ' TOT' list is replaced by ' CUM' ,
which holds the cumulative number of heads up to that specific trial.

Dice Section

3.1 Setting up the simulation
This section has basically the same settings as the coin section. The only
main difference is the Sides setting. This can be 6, 8, 10, 12, or 20, and
defines how many sides each dice will have. Corresponding types of dice
are used in the animation for each of those available. See SECTION 2.
3.2 Use of the section
This section is used almost the exact same way as the coin section. The
main exception to this is that the total sum of the rolled dice is counted
when multiple dice are used. The graph and data usage is the same, along
with how to perform the trials. When a multi-sided dice is used where
there are too many possible totals to fit on one screen, arrows will appear
to inform you that more graph bars exist than can be seen. By using the
arrow keys at the edges of the visible part of the graph, you can scroll to
the other bars.
Set this to Yes if you want the data to be cleared. This is
automatically set when certain other settings are changed.
You can choose how many trials you want to occur before the
graph and data are updated. Updates for every trial is the default
and only 20, 50 and the end are available.
