This project is an online implementation of the classic Deming Red Bead experiment, which is used to demonstrate the concepts of probability and randomness. The experiment involves drawing beads from a container and recording the outcomes to analyze the distribution of results. The online version allows users to simulate the experiment and visualize the results in real-time. It also incorporates OpenTelemetry for tracking user interactions and performance metrics, providing insights into how users engage with the experiment and how the application performs under different conditions. The project is built using JavaScript and is designed to be accessible and educational for users interested in learning about probability and randomness through an interactive experience.
