The applets in this section demonstrate basic issues of experimental design. The Poor Experimental Design ignores randomization rules and allows for increased experimental error. The Improved Experimental Design offers improvement over the first design by adding randomization and reducing experimental error. Both applets require the input of several participants. The purpose of the applets is to test the reaction times between a participant's dominant and non-dominant hand.

The Journal of Statistics Education disseminates knowledge for the improvement of statistics education at all levels, including elementary, secondary, post-secondary, post-graduate, continuing, and workplace education. It is distributed electronically and, in accord with its broad focus, publishes articles that enhance the exchange of a diversity of interesting and useful information among educators, practitioners, and researchers around the world. The intended audience includes anyone who teaches statistics, as well as those interested in research on statistical and probabilistic reasoning. All submissions are rigorously refereed using a double-blind peer review process.

This Java applet helps students visualize features and factors of one and two-way ANOVA tables together with representational models and model parameters.

This is an article published in the Journal of Statistics Education describing the ANOVA Visualization Tool and how it can be used in class.

This module contains discussions on t-test, ANOVA, correlation, two-way factorial ANOVA, regression, chi-squared, and distributions and provides links to a variety of activities relevant to the discussions.

This module contains discussions on two and three dimensional graphs, histograms, scatterplots, boxplots, and data visualization, and provides links to a variety of relevant activities.

The Journal of Statistics Education has published this collection of datasets and related articles describing their use, submitted by faculty members from numerous institutions. Data is in .dat format.

This collection is organized as discussions and activities in the subjects of descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, graphical analysis, and TI-83 and Excel guides. It also includes a section of quizzes. Key Words: Mean; Median; Mode; Normal Distribution; Skewed Distribution; Range; Standard Deviation; Confidence Interval; T-Test; ANOVA; Correlation; Regression; Chi-Square; Probability Distributions; Histograms; Scatterplots; Boxplot.

In this activity, students will calculate the mean, median, and mode of the salaries for the Angels and the Orioles baseball players. Questions about the exercise and links to Excel and TI-83 instructions. The data exists in Excel, TI-83, and text formats.

The applet in this section allows you see how probabilities are determined from the exponential distribution. The user determines the mean of the distribution and the limits of probability. Three different probability expressions are available. Click "Calculate" to see the pdf and the cdf. The probability is highlighted in green on the pdf.
