Use the "n" slider to set the number of pennies initially to 100, and click the leftmost button (Single Step) to see the result of tossing all 100 coins. Count the either the "heads" or the "tails". (Hint: You may find it easier to count down the columns than across the rows.) Record the number of tails as your "number decayed". Then reset the "n" slider to the number of heads, that is, the number of remaining coins. Repeat until there are no coins remaining.
