This online, interactive lesson on Markov chains provides examples, exercises, and applets that cover recurrence, transience, periodicity, time reversal, as well as invariant and limiting distributions.
This page introduces various measures of central tendency and spread with an example on leaf size. Two descriptive statistics calculators are provided which compute mean, median, minimum, maximum, 1st & 3rd quartiles, standard deviation, and the 95% confidence interval for the mean and tests for normality. Users type in individual data points or copy and paste the entire data set. Key Words: Five Number Summary; Mode; Interquartile Range; Variance; Range; Normal Distribution.
This online, interactive lesson on games of chance provides examples, exercises, and applets which include Poker, Poker dice, Chuck-a-Luck, Craps, Roulette, The Monty Hall Problem, lotteries, and Red and Black.
This is a virtual linear regression calculator. It allows students to enter data points, experiment with where the line of best fit might be, and then lets them see the correct line of best fit as well as the outliers. You can click through the introduction.
This site gives an explanation of, a definition for and an example of sample means. Topics include mean, variance, distribution, and the Central Limit Theorem.
This site gives an explanation, a definition and an example of conditional probability. Topics include the probabilities of intersections of events and Bayes' formula.
The goal of this lesson is to introduce the concepts of mean, median and mode and to develop understanding and familiarity with these ideas. The activity lets students explore mean and median in an efficient way and the discussion helps them to formalize their knowledge of measures of center.
The seventh chapter of an online Introduction to Biostatistics course. Two sets of lecture notes are provided (only the first one works). Additionally, links for additional reading and exercises with solutions are provided.
