This tutorial explains the theory and use of the Chi-Square Test for goodness of fit and demonstrates it with an example on mastery test scores. Data is given as well as SPSS and Minitab code.
This tutorial explains the theory and use of Student's t-test and demonstrates it with an example on final exam scores. Data is given as well as SPSS and Minitab code.
This tutorial explains the theory and use of Student's t-test for matched pairs and demonstrates it with an example on project quality. Data is given as well as SPSS and Minitab code.
This course website provides materials for teaching and learning path analysis. Materials include Regression Review, Introduction to Path Notation, Standardized Path Models, Unstandardized Path Models, Matrix Algebra, and many SAS programs.
This tutorial introduces the basic concepts of probability using various examples. Topics include interpreting probability, calibration experiments, interpreting odds, sample space, basic rules, equally likely outcomes, constructing probability tables, unions and complements, mean, and two-way probability tables. A link to activities is also given.
CAST contains three complete introductory statistics courses, one advanced statistical methods course, and additional modules. Each introductory course presents the same topics, but with different applications. The first is a general version, the second is a biometric version with examples relating to biological, agricultural and health sciences, and the third is a business version. Each course comes in a student version and a lecture version. The additional modules cover Multiple and Nonlinear Regression, Quality Control, and Simulation. Registration is required, but free. Individuals or classes can register.
This page gives a history of notation and symbols and who developed them for combinatorial analysis, the normal distribution, probability, and statistics. Quotes from the first papers to use these symbols are also given.
This tutorial opens with a survey on polling. Upon completing the survey, students are taken through an election example which uses polling to explain random sampling, bias, margin of error, and confidence intervals.
This applet introduces the concept of confidence intervals. Select an alpha level, sample size, and the number of experiments, and click "Play." For each sample, the applet will show the data points as blue dots and the confidence interval as a red, vertical line. The true population mean is shown as a horizontal purple line, and green ovals indicate which intervals do not contain the true mean.
This page helps readers know which statistcal tests are appropriate for the different types of data. Two charts display the information. A discussion of study design and sample size, as well as exercise questions with solutions are also provided.
