Abstract :
According to experimental principle of Galton nail Board, This paper uses several Excel functions tools to simulate the Galton Board Experiment in a simple, intuitive way. A dynamic demonstration using graphics for interpretation of the center limit theorem are given. Further, in an independent case , the result of the two-dimension above can be extended to three dimensional situation. This reflects that the theoretical study should combine with modern educational technology.
