Building Simulations in Fathom (Beginning)

In this webinar you will learn how to set up a simulation in Fathom, which requires sampling from a population, defining measures of those samples, collecting many measures by having Fathom quickly draw repeated new samples, and summarizing the results. We’ll look at a variety of contexts that can be introduced with simple hands-on games or activities, and then modeled with Fathom simulations.
