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=317524 Quoted from the site: [This site contains...] "Free mathematics tutorials to help you explore and gain deep understanding of math topics." The math topics covered include 1) Precalculus Tutorials 2) Calculus Tutorials and Problems 3) Geometry Tutorials and Problems 3) Trigonometry Tutorials and Problems for Self Tests 4) Elementary statistics and probability tutorials 5) Applications of mathematics in physics and engineering. And much more, including many applets. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=77058 This is a site that is meant to explain to writers what statistical data means. However, it is also a simple review, with examples, of statistical analysis from "Means" to "Sample Sizes." http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=80319 This tutorial is designed to give students practice in calculating basic probabilities using the binomial distribution. The applet gives students short problem descriptions that require a binomial probability to solve. The user is then prompted to follow a step by step process to find the probability. Users must answer a step correctly before the applet will allow them to move onto the next step. The page also gives further exercises that allow the user to think about binomial distributions more deeply and gives a link to more detailed information about the binomial distribution. This tutorial is one of a number of easy-to-use statistics tutorials developed by Larry Green http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=79520 This JAVA applet assists the user in developing skills to classify a problem as one of the various types of confidence intervals, hypethesis tests and Chi Squared tests. This is not an easy application, but the comprehensive hints provided will improve the users skills in making such classifications. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=443286 This tutorial introduces students to the basics of confidence intervals in a Q & A format with options for entering answers to questions and having those answers checked. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=79519 This Java applet tutorial provides a series of word problems on determining confidence intervals.
