public class TriangleExperiment
extends Experiment

The triangle experiment is to break a stick at random and see if the pieces form a triangle. If so, is the triangle acute or obtuse?

TriangleExperiment

public TriangleExperiment()

This method initializes the experiment, including the toolbar, triangle, scatterplot, random variable graph and table

Method Detail

doExperiment

public void doExperiment()

This method defines the experiment. The stick is randomly broken and the type of triangle is determined. The corresponding point is plotted in the scatterplot

Specified by:

doExperiment in interface IExperiment

Overrides:

doExperiment in class Experiment

step

public void step()

This method runs the the experiment one time, and add sounds depending on the outcome of the experiment.

Specified by:

step in interface IExperiment

Overrides:

step in class Experiment

update

public void update()

This method updates the display, including the triangle, the random varible graph and table, and the record table.

Specified by:

update in interface IExperiment

Overrides:

update in class Experiment

reset

public void reset()

This method resets the experiment, including the record table, triangle, scatterplot, random variable table and graph

Specified by:

reset in interface IExperiment

Overrides:

reset in class Experiment
