Modeling a Sample of Radioactive Decay on Material Using Dice

Aim:

To model the sample of radioactivity decay on material, using dice.

Method:

To use 600 dice and roll them up to the decided throw number of 14.

This is going to be used as an example to show how the decaying of

radioactive material works.

Results:

A results table for the number of dice remaining graph:
