SIM14 · 10 次左右选择 / 二项分布走向正态SIM14 · 10 LEFT/RIGHT CHOICES / BINOMIAL TO NORMAL

400 颗小球自己排出一条正态曲线Watch 400 balls arrange themselves into a normal curve

每颗球碰到一排钉,只做一次五五开的左或右选择。单次选择看不出形状;连续十次相加,再让 400 颗球重复同一过程,底部 11 格会逐步堆出钟形。动画不另掷随机,只重放种子 42 生成的 bit 序列。At each peg row, a ball makes one fifty-fifty left or right choice. A single choice has no shape; add ten choices and repeat the process for 400 balls, and the eleven bins build a bell curve. The animation never rerolls—it only replays the bit sequence generated from seed 42.

🎬 跟住一颗球:每碰一钉,按预先生成的 bit 左右一跳🎬 Track one ball: each peg replays one pre-generated left/right bit

很多个小的独立波动加在一起,整体才会走向正态;不是所有数据天生都该正态。Many small independent variations add toward normality. Normal is a mechanism, not a default label for every dataset.

⚠ 常见误区⚠ Common mistakes

✗ 数据都该是正态的✗ All data should be normal
✓ 只有“许多小独立因素相加”才给正态;一个大因素主导时直方图会偏斜,别硬套。✓ Normality emerges when many small independent causes add. One dominant cause can skew the histogram.
✗ 不正态 = 数据错了✗ Non-normal means bad data
✓ 先找那个大因素,而不是删数据。✓ Find the dominant cause before deleting observations.
