Song about the use of the Mann-Whitney U statistic (also known as the two sample Wilcoxon statistic). May be sung to the tune of "I Will Find You" by Peter Hammill; Fie Records, 1991. The audio was produced by Nicolas Acedo and sung by Jorge Baylon, both students in the University of Texas at El Paso Commercial Music Program.
This page will calculate the lower and upper limits of the 95% confidence interval for the difference between two independent proportions, according to two methods described by Robert Newcombe, both derived from a procedure outlined by E.B.Wilson in 1927. The first method uses the Wilson procedure without a correction for continuity; the second uses the Wilson procedure with a correction for continuity.
This calculator returns the value of t for the difference between the means of two correlated samples, for sample sizes up to 10. Users are prompted for sample size as the page opens. It will also calculate various summary statistics for the two samples.
This chapter of the "Concepts and Applications of Inferential Statistics" online textbook describes in detail the Kruskal-Wallis test, it's formulas, variables, and procedures using an example involving wine-tasters.
This page will perform a t-test for the significance of the difference between the observed mean of a sample and a hypothetical mean of the population from which the sample is randomly drawn. The user will be asked to specify the sample size as the page opens.
As the page opens, you will be prompted to enter the sizes of your several samples. If you are starting out with raw (unranked) data, the necessary rank- ordering will be performed automatically.
Given a sample of N values of X randomly drawn from a normally distributed population, this page will calculate the .95 and .99 confidence intervals (CI) for the estimated mean of the population.
Poses the following problem: Suppose there was one of six prizes inside your favorite box of cereal. Perhaps it's a pen, a plastic movie character, or a picture card. How many boxes of cereal would you expect to have to buy, to get all six prizes?
This resource gives 3 questions readers should ask when presented with data and why to ask them: Where did the data come from? Have the data been peer-reviewed? How were the data collected? This page also describes why readers should: be skeptical when dealing with comparisons, and be aware of numbers taken out of context.
In this applet, we simulate a series of hypothesis of tests for the value of the parameter p in a Bernoulli random variable. Each column of red and green marks represents a sample of 30 observations. "Successes'' are coded by green marks and "failures'' by red marks.
