Excel Lab 4 … Marble Simulation
Objective: create a game that involves choosing 2 marbles without replacement from a bag with 3
different colors. You can have any number of each color … don’t copy mine! Conditionally format 2
cells to appear as the colors that are chosen. Create charts and a graph that automatically keep track of
the experimental results and theoretical expectations (as shown below).

The IF function =IF(condition, if true, if false)
The CHOOSE function =CHOOSE(index, value, value, …)
The OR function =OR(condition, condition, condition, …)
The AND function =AND(condition, condition, condition, …)

Simulation “without replacement” is a challenge
sd = sqrt (npq) ; where n = # trials, p = probability of success, q = probability of failure
Due: email your excel document to me saved with 400 trials. Include a calculation in your email for the
standard deviation for the largest discrepancy between your experimental and theoretical numbers.
Excel should be professional in appearance and minimize extraneous distractions with macros.
