Since there's a thread like this already...
I'm trying to do maffs on this Plinko game I found on newgrounds.com, which is an imitation of The Price is Right. It's basically a giant binomial distribution machine (durrr) and where the chips fall are based on where you drop it.
Pic. The one I'm modeling after is shorter than that.
I already calculated the odds of a single chip starting in the middle falling into these categories:
$100 - 2/256
$500 - 16/256
$1000 - 56/256
0 - 112/256
$10,000 - 70/256
This is only one of many probabilities I'm trying to calculate: What are the odds of you winning $30,100 or more using 5 plinko chips?
