A visual tour of Francis Galton's bean machine and the birth of the normal curve. We explain how countless random left-right bounces produce a bell curve via the binomial distribution and the central limit theorem, with a nod to Pascal's triangle and the idea of regression to the mean. We also explore how changing the pins reveals other distributions and touch on the historical context behind its use.
