The applet utilizes Petersen software written by the author. Peterson can draw, edit and manipulate simple graphs, examine properties of the graphs, and demonstrate them using computer animation. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82347 This tutorial will help you determine how accurate a sample mean is likely to be, and how this accuracy is related to the sample size. Brief reviews of the normal distribution and the Central Limit Theorem are included as supplemental materials. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80454 This is a glossary of fractals including dozens of examples that are flly explained. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83266 The purpose of Visual Fractions is to picture fractions and the operations on them. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=79518 This Java applet tutorial provides a series of word problems on determining confidence intervals. Each problem prompts the user to input the steps for determining a confidence interval for the mean. Hints are provided whenever the user enters an incorrect value. Once the steps are completed, a statement summarizing the interval obtained is displayed. The applet is supported by an explanation of the steps in creating confidence intervals.. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84257 Adventures in Statistics is a free online learning resource designed to teach students statistics. Comprised of five lively and engaging learning episodes that are each 10 to 15 minutes, students are taken through storylines, exercises, assignments and more.At the heart of these modules are fun situations, quirky characters, and animated diagrams that put students at ease and facilitate their ability to grasp concepts covered in an introductory statistics course.In these modules, students will test squirrel intelligence, help aliens decide whether or not to invade Earth, help a 1970’s disco king decide if it’s profitable to open a record store, and more. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=79516 This Java applet tutorial prompts the user to input the components of a hypothesis test for the mean. Hints are provided whenever the user enters an incorrect value. Once the steps are completed and the user has chosen the correct conclusion for accepting or rejecting the null hypothesis, a statement summarizing the conclusion is displayed. The applet is supported by an explanation of the steps in hypothesis testing and a description of one-tailed and two-tailed tests. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=79517 This Java applet tutorial prompts the user to input the components of a hypothesis test for a proportion. Hints are provided whenever the user enters an incorrect value. Once the steps are completed and the user has chosen the correct conclusion for accepting or rejecting the null hypothesis, a statement summarizing the conclusion is displayed. The applet is supported by an explanation of the steps in hypothesis testing and a description of one-tailed and two-tailed tests. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84949 This site contains over 300 sample problems in calculus and precalculus accompanied by detailed solutions. Most of these problems open into resizable frames with text and graphics, but quite a few are presented as step-by-step Java applets. Two methods of searching for content are available: 1) by typical calculus course topic order; and 2) by an alphabetical listing. Glossaries and an appreciable review of algebra round out this extensive online tutorial site.
