public class PointExperiment
extends Experiment

This class models the famous problem of points experiment. Two player engage in Bernoulli trials. The event of interest is that player 1 wins n points before playeer 2 wins m points

Method Summary

void	doExperiment() This method defines the experiment.
void	reset() This method resets the experiment, including the coins, the record table, and the random variable graph and table
void	setParameters() This method sets the parameter of the win distribution when the number of points needed for a player or the point probability have changed
