In this section we present materials that can be used for lecture topics and to supplement the presentation of materials to students. Materials here include detailed explanations of topics, PowerPoint presentations, and detailed examples that can be used in a lecture setting.
** Histograms on Anova
This simulation applet is designed to demonstrate the sampling distributions of the F statistic, Mean Square Error (MSE), and Mean Square Treatment (MSTR) for one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA).
** Regression
This applet from Statistical Java allows the user to generate bivariate data for analysis with simple linear regression. The page describes the equations used to generate the data and estimate the...
**ANOVA Simulation
The two worksheets enable instructors to demonstrate how changes in the magnitude of the treatment effects and of the standard deviation of the error term will impact significance in a One-Way ANOVA...
**Central Limit Theorem Applet
This applet demonstrates the central limit theorem using simulated dice-rolling experiments. This experiment is performed repeatedly and outcomes are recorded and plotted in the form of a histogram.
**CETL Reusable Learning Objects: Probability
This is a collection of cases to demonstrate concepts of inferential statistics. Many materials are flash based, which is specifically interesting for young and beginning learners. This resource...
**Chance Teaching Aids
This is a site that contains a number of types of material that can be used in teaching about chance and probability. Lesson plans, syllabi, suggested activities, and data sets are available. The...
**Dotplot Summaries Applet
This applet generates dotplots for different data sets and allows users to guess the location of various measures of center and spread. Clicking "Resample” produces a dotplot of random data generated...
**Guess the Correlation Applet
This applet generates a scatterplot each time the user clicks "New Sample". Users can then guess the correlation from the graph and see the actual value. By clicking "Edit data" users can input...
**Histogram Applet
This applet is designed to teach students how bin widths (or the number of bins) affect a histogram. A histogram of the time between Old Faithful eruptions is shown. Students can change the bin...
**Histograms on Linear Regression
This applet simulates a linear regression plot and the corresponding intercept and slope histograms. The program allows the user to change settings such as slope, standard deviation, sample size, and...
