1. Three things that I significantly learned from the video clip

 The Fibonacci numbers can also be found as the sums of specific
diagonals in the triangle.
 The number at each peg represents the number of different paths a
small ball could travel from the top peg to that peg.
 It demonstrate the central limit theorem, in particular that the normal
distribution is approximate to the binomial distribution.
2. Three things that are still unclear to me
 Theoretical Curve
 Binomial Distribution
 Latest Model
3. I used to think that
 The Galton Board demonstrates centuries-old mathematical concepts
in an innovative desktop device.
 It’s a game in arcade there’s nothing about academic itself.
 Small Balls are dropped from the top and, when the device is level,
bounce in the middle only as they hit the pegs.
4. Three questions that I want to ask about the video clip
 Is there other type of Galton board?
 Instead of small balls, what other replacement can we get?
 Who is the man who starts all of this?
