Statistics Supplements


Statistical Applet Links:   Applets provide an excellent hands-on tool for learning statistics.


More Statistics Applets: These applets are provided on Rossmanchance.com.  Listed below are the applets which I found easiest to use, and that offer the most bang for your time investment.  Some of these applets are somewhat similar to those provided by the publishers of our textbook. 

  Histogram Bin Width Dot Plot Summaries

  Guess the Correlation

  Least Squares Regression (Will definitely use in class) 


  Sampling Distribution Simulations

    Reese’s Pieces

    Sampling Pennies

    Coin Tossing


  Simulations Using a Deck of Cards

     Friendly Observers

     Dolphin Study

     Yawning Study 

     Two-way Table



Statistics Movies: In the late 1980s, Annenberg/CPB created “Against All Odds”, a series of 26 movies teaching introductory statistics.  Some of the hair styles and clothes are a bit dated, but the author of our textbook believes this series remains a good instructional supplement. Each movie is 27 minutes long with about two minutes of credits and preview.  PC users may need to download some updates for Windows media player.  Mac users will need a recent version of Safari and Flip4Mac. 


If you want to watch just a portion of a movie, this link will allow you to see more detail of the content available within each movie. Keywords describing the applications are given in italics. Keywords describing the statistical concepts covered are in times roman.
