In this section we present materials that are appropriate for students to work with outside of the classroom setting. Materials here include applets and activities that can be used by students on their own as part of a homework assignment or other out of class study.
** Binomial Distribution
This JAVA applet is designed to give students practice in calculating basic probabilities using the binomial distribution. The applet gives students short problem descriptions that require a...
** Confidence Interval for a Mean
This Java based applet gives students an opportunity to work through confidence interval problems for the mean. The material provides written word problems in which an individual must be able to...
** Guessing Correlations
This is a basic web application that allows practice with matching points on a scatterplot to the appropriate correlation coefficient, r. Applet provides four scatterplots to match with four...
** Hypothesis Test for a Mean
This Java applet tutorial prompts the user to input the components of a hypothesis test for the mean. Hints are provided whenever the user enters an incorrect value. Once the steps are completed and...
** Linear Regression Calculator
This Flash applet provides an introduction to simple linear regression for introductory statistics students. It combines a brief narrated animation with an interactive scatterplot function.
** Regression
This applet from Statistical Java allows the user to generate bivariate data for analysis with simple linear regression. The page describes the equations used to generate the data and estimate the...
** Sampling Distribution of the Mean Tutorial
This tutorial demonstrates the properties of sampling distributions using a Java applet. The tutorial has an accompanying hand-out that you can download.
** Sampling Distributions
This applet simulates and plots the sampling distribution of various statistics (i.e. mean, standard deviation, variance). The applet allows the user to specify the population distribution, sample...
** Sampling from a Real Estate Database
This material is a detailed exercise for students in introductory statistics. Students are asked to collect a random sample of data from a real estate website; conduct descriptive statistics...
**An Introduction To Statistical Power
This tutorial illustrates the relationship between statistical power and four features of the test situation. An applet allows the user to manipulate a factor and immediately see the effects on...
