Answer 2

The quincunx method is a statistical technique used to generate random numbers that follow a normal distribution. It involves dropping balls onto a series of pins arranged in a quincunx pattern, and the final distribution of the balls at the bottom follows a bell-shaped curve similar to a normal distribution. It is often used in the teaching of statistics to demonstrate the central limit theorem.
