Probability with Spreadsheet Simulations

Description
Machado, Armando – An Invitation to Probability With Spreadsheet Simulations – In this tutorial I will review some fundamental ideas concerning the theory of probability. I will concentrate on the Poisson, Exponential, and Gamma random variables, review their properties, show how they are interrelated, illustrate their uses in modelling behavior and learning, simulate them in a spread sheet. I will conclude with some notes concerning the Poisson Process and apply in timing and concurrent choice.
