This interactive tutorial on Exponential Smoothing helps learners understand the use of exponential smoothing, define exponential smoothing, cite the merits and demerits of exponential smoothing, and solve exercise problems using exponential smoothing.

This tutorial includes using, finding, weighting, and solving problems with Moving Averages.

This interactive tutorial on Linear Regression helps the user understand the definition of linear regression, understand the meaning of correlation, use scatter plots, recognize and calculate errors in linear regression, use simple linear regression analysis, use residual analysis of the regression equation, understand the significance of the correlation coefficient and the regression coefficient in linear regression, and solve exercise problems using linear regression.

This self-test provides a review/assessment of the Probability section of this module. At the bottom, there is a grading button to rate the users' understanding of the material.

This tutorial on Distributions helps students understand the basic concept of probability distributions, recognize and use Binomial, Normal, Poisson, and Uniform Distributions, and solve exercise problems using probability distributions.

This interactive tutorial on Expectations helps students understand the concept of expectations, recognize and use variance and standard deviation, understand the method of moments, recognize and use co-variance, and solve exercise problems using expectations.

This interactive tutorial on Basic Probability helps students understand the basic concepts of probability, define independent and compound events, use the basic properties of probability, understand the concept of conditional probability, and solve exercise problems using basic probability.

This free online video program "presents a detailed case study of statistics at work. Operating in a real-world setting, the program traces the practice of statistics - planning the data collection, collecting and picturing the data, drawing inferences from the data, and deciding how confident we can be about our conclusions. Students will begin to see the full range and power of the concepts and techniques they have learned." This individual video is accessed by scrolling down to the "Individual Program Descriptions - 26. Case Study " and click the "VOD" icon at the top-right of the description.

This free online video program "marks a transition in the series: from a focus on inference about the mean of a population to exploring inferences about a different kind of parameter, the proportion or percent of a population that has a certain characteristic. Students will observe the use of confidence intervals and tests for comparing proportions applied in government estimates of unemployment rates."
