• Section 1.1 – Displaying Distributions with Graphs
  • online resources:
    1. Histogram Applet - http://www.amstat.org/publications/jse/v6n3/applets/Histogram.html
       This applet is designed to teach students how bin widths (i.e., class widths) affect a histogram.
    2. Histogram - http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/histogram/index.html
       This activity allows the user to view and make their own histograms.
    3. Histogram Explorer - http://www.ratrat.com/histogram_explorer/he.html
       Histogram Explorer is a tool for understanding histograms and their statistics.
       
       
• Section 1.2 – Describing Distributions with Numbers
  • online resources:
    1. One Variable Statistical Calculator - http://bcs.whfreeman.com/ips4e/cat_010/applets/histogramIPS.html
       Once applet is organized as five "tabbed" display screens. Select a data file from the Data Set tab (and you can enter your own data). The applet provides summary statistics, histogram, stemplot.
    2. One Variable Analysis - http://www.sgcorp.com/one_variable_analysis.htm
       Input your data and the applet will plot the data and provide summary statistics. The applet provides summary statistics, histogram, stemplot.
    3. Box-And-Whisker Plot - http://www.sgcorp.com/calculate.htm
       This applet allows you to enter data and view the boxplot and descriptive statistics.
    4. The Data Applet - http://www.stat.uiuc.edu/~stat100/java/DataApplet.html
       Once applet provides the summary statistics and various graphs of provided data sets (you can modify these data sets.
    5. The Six Characteristics of a Dataset - http://exploringdata.cqu.edu.au/six_char.htm
       Once some data have been gathered, the first step in working with the data is to look at it in a variety of ways. This describes the use of six characteristics of a dataset in analysing the dataset.
       
       
• Section 1.3 – The Normal Distributions
  • online resources:
    1. Working with z-scores and Normal Probabilities - http://psych.colorado.edu/~mcclella/java/normal/normz.html
       This applet converts between raw scores and z-scores with a display of various areas of probability.
    2. The Normal Distribution - http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~naras/jsm/NormalDensity/NormalDensity.html
       This applet draws a normal curve with a specified mean and standard deviation and demonstrates the 68-95-99.7 rule for normal distributions.
    3. Standard Normal Distribution - http://www.coe.tamu.edu/~strader/Mathematics/Statistics/NormalCurve/
       This applet is designed to enhance your understanding of standard scores, areas under the normal curve, and probability as applied to inferential statisitics.
    4. Probabilities for the Normal Distribution - http://psych.colorado.edu/~mcclella/java/normal/handleNormal.html
       This applet applet may be used to find approximate probabilities from the normal distribution.
