  • This worksheet activity teaches random sampling and theoretical probabilities by simulating the effects of randomly assigning newborn babies to their mothers. Students will perform trials and keep track of results, then use the information to deduce properties of random sampling. The relation website is an applet that simulates the process automatically.

  • This PowerPoint lecture presenation explains confidence intervals for a mean when using a small sample. It discusses the t-distribution, compares the t-statistic to the z-statistic, and provides an example of a small sample confidence interval. The original presentation is available for download.

  • This collection of calculators allows users to perform a number of statistical applications. Each provides background on the procedure and an example. Users can compute Descriptive Statistics and perform t-tests, Chi-square tests, Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, Fisher's Exact Test, contingency tables, ANOVA, and regression.

  • This applet performs a hypothesis test for the mean of a single normal population, variance known. Users set the hypothesized mean, true mean, variance, and appropriate alternative hypothesis. The applet plots a representative distribution under the given values with power shaded in blue and significance level shaded in red.

  • The 29-item attitudinal scale consists of two subscales: attitude toward the field of statistics (20 items) and attitude toward the course (9 items). Students are asked to respond to how they currently feel about a statement (i.e., "I feel that statistics will be useful to me in my profession") using a 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) response scale.

  • This Compendium describes distributions appropriate for the modeling of random data. The number of distributions (56) is large, including: 1. Continuous distributions (30), (Symmetric (11) and Skewed (19)) 2. Continuous binary mixtures(17), 3. Discrete distributions (5), 4. Discrete binary mixtures (4), All formulas are shown in their fully-parametrized form, not the standard form. Many of the formulas given are seldom described. Random variate generation is included where feasible.
