TI-82 Program EXPONENT


This program will simulate the bead model for exponent growth. The program asks for an input of the number of censuses and a probability - a number between 0 and 1. Each member of the current census adds one to the current population with the chosen probability, independent of the other members. The census number is stored in L1, the population total iss stored in L2 and the population change is stored in L3.
