Abstract
Fans of the television game show The Price is Right call Plink their favorite pricing game. Although traveling to the CBS studios in Los Angeles, California, to be a contestant on The Price is Right is only a dream for most students, the exciting game of Plinko can be used to teach students such mathematics as simulations and experimental probabilities.
