Plinko

At the Palmer Symposium today I went to a speech that had to do with the behind the scenes look at plinko. This speech was given in the Lincoln Center by three young students of Morningside College. As the students started to give their speech you could sense a little bit of nervousness from them, but I thought they handled it very well. The speech was about the probabilities of Plinko and if where your dropped the the Plinko chip at the top of the board affected where it would end up! I thought it was very interesting that the students could go about figuring out such problems and if there was a certain spot to drop to when the most amount of money! In fact if your drop it in the middle of board you have the best chance to win the big dollars. The students showed graphs to prove what they where saying was true. The feel of the room was calm until the speech was over and they asked if there where any questions. There was two men in the back right corner of the room that stepped up to ask questions about the students project. The students recovered quickly and answered the questions correctly I believe. Overall I thought it was a good speech and  I was impressed on how each on of them held their composure.
