Radioactive decay model using dice

Throw 120 dice fifteen times, remove the sixes as decays, and test the exponential model with a graph of ln N against throw number, comparing the decay constant with the probability of one in six.

This simulation supports preparation and data-analysis practice. It does not replace carrying out real practical work.
