| APPLET | SOURCE | DESCRIPTION |
|
| Practice True or False Questions Involving Elementary Statistics | Larry Green's Applet Page | Dozens of true/false questions with instant feedback covering descriptive statistics and sampling techniques, graphical displays, probability concepts, confidence intervals and Z, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, chi-square tests and ANOVA. more |
| Sampling Animation | Kerbaugh | Animation demonstrates how numbers are drawn from a population to form a sample and calculates sample mean and standard deviation. more
  |
| Sampling from a population | Prentice-Hall applets, (West) | Users select from several populations or specify their own, simulate samples of varying size (one at a time) and compare mean, median and standard deviation of the sample to those of the population. more
|
| Sampling | Seeing Statistics (McClelland) | Users can select samples of size 10 from a population and observe sample proportion, multiple samples can be taken before revealing true population proportion. more |
| Contamination/ Soil Secrets | Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Darius et al.) | Users select soil samples to test for contamination from an oil spill, but only have a limited budget. Can be used to generate distinct samples from the same population to illustrate variability. more |
| Simulate M&M's color | Applets for the Cybergnostics project (West) | Generates samples of M&Ms and records number of each color and tallies proportion of each color. Can be used to show variability of samples or to generate data for other exercises. more |
| Sampling Words | Rossman/Chance Applet collection | Generates and shows visually and calculates statistics of samples of words from the Gettysburg address and calculates mean length, number of long words and number of nouns. See AIMS website at http://www.tc.umn.edu/~aims/aimstopicsData.htm for activities (Data Lesson 3A, Activity 1 ans Samples & Sampling Lesson 2, Activity 2) that use this applet to illustrate bias, the importance of random sampling, and the effect of sample size. more |
| Reeses Pieces | Rossman/Chance Applet Collection | Generates and shows visually samples and statistics of the proportion of Reeses Pieces that are orange. See http://statweb.calpoly.edu/chance/inspire03/Reeses.doc or AIMS website at http://www.tc.umn.edu/~aims/aimstopicsSampling.htm (Lesson 1, Activity 1) for activities to go along with this applet. more |
