Probability Simulator
Run local Monte Carlo simulations for coin flips, dice rolls, and custom Bernoulli events. Contrast simulated frequency distributions with exact theoretical probability models.
Experiment Setup
Client-Side EngineIn-Browser Probability Simulation and Distribution Modeling
The Probability Simulator computes theoretical probability values and runs Monte Carlo empirical simulations for random events including coin tosses, multi-sided dice rolls, playing card draws, and custom independent trials. Comparing theoretical models against experimental empirical results illustrates the Law of Large Numbers.
This utility simulates thousands of consecutive trials in client browser memory using cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generation (CSPRNG). It tracks outcome frequencies, cumulative probabilities, and statistical variance.
The interface displays real-time animated frequency histograms, percentage distributions, and theoretical expectation overlays. All simulations run locally in browser memory with zero network delay.
Core Tool Capabilities
- Monte Carlo Simulation Engine: Simulate up to 100,000 randomized trials in browser memory to observe empirical convergence toward theoretical limits.
- Multi-Event Presets: Includes pre-tuned simulators for coin flips (Heads/Tails), standard dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d20), and card deck draws.
- Theoretical vs Empirical Comparison: Displays exact mathematical probabilities alongside simulated results to highlight experimental variance.
- Custom Event and Odds Modeling: Define custom weighted event spaces with personalized probabilities and outcome names.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Law of Large Numbers?
- The Law of Large Numbers states that as the number of experimental trials increases, the empirical outcome frequency converges toward the theoretical expected probability.
- How are random numbers generated in this simulator?
- The simulator uses the browser Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues), providing cryptographically secure uniform random generation.
- Can I define custom weighted outcomes?
- Yes. You can create custom events with specific percentage weights to model biased coins or non-uniform probabilities.
- Are my simulation runs recorded on a server?
- No. All Monte Carlo iterations and charting algorithms execute entirely inside your local browser memory.
- What is the probability of rolling a sum of 7 on two six-sided dice?
- There are 6 winning combinations out of 36 possibilities, giving a theoretical probability of 6/36 = 1/6 (approx 16.67%).
