This is an interactive applet requiring Mathematica or the Wolfram CDF player. The applet show the graph of a the trinomial distribution corresponding to $$n$$ devices, each of which, independently, is either perfect, acceptable, or failed with specified probabilities. The use can vary the parameters (the number of devices $$n$$, the probability that a device is perfect, and the probability that a device is acceptable) with scroll bars.
