In this paper, we discuss the underlying ideas of a computer laboratory for symbolic manipulation of discrete random experiments. Finite automata, and associated formal series, are the basic theoretical tool for representing experiments, and for solving probability problems. Starting from a description of a random experiment given as a special kind of regular expressions, the environment constructs automata from which it extracts generating series associated to the experiment.
