Title :
An Electrical Network-Probability Theory Analogy
Author :
Healy, Timothy J.
Abstract :
An analogy is developed between a familiar electric network and the central limit theorem of probability theory. A laboratory experiment or demonstration which can enhance the students understanding of both problems is described. Finally, the digital filter analogy is discussed. It is shown that the experiment has both theoretical and practical value.
