Nice resource for simulating compound probabilities for flipping two discs as well as compiling the data.

An excellent probability tool which is especially useful because it's possible to use this with pupils of all ages. The visual aid is helpful for low ability pupils and the numerical data to accompany it on the right hand side provides plenty of scope for discussion and interpretation.
