Description

A Weird Distribution

Demonstration from Statistics with 1000 cases, 3 attributes. Useful for Activity, Demonstration

Shows and explains some of the properties of the Cauchy distribution.

Binomial vs Normal

Demonstration from Statistics with function plot. Useful for Activity, Demonstration

Plots a binomial probability distribution and the corresponding normal density. Has sliders for n and p.

DepthFunction

Demonstration from Statistics with 100 cases, 1 attribute. Useful for Activity, Demonstration

Explores the properties of the “depth” function.

DistributionFAQ

Demonstration from Statistics with function plots. Useful for Activity, Demonstration

Plots the three distribution functions—density, cumulative, and quantile—for the normal distribution and for the uniform distribution.

Normal

Demonstration from Statistics with 100 cases, 1 attribute. Useful for Activity, Demonstration

With sliders to manipulate parameters, gets at some important properties of normal distribution.

NormalDensityExploration

Activity from Statistics with 500 cases, 1 attribute. Useful for Activity

Looks at density histogram and density curve.

P-Value Calculators

Activity from Statistics with no cases or attributes. Useful for Activity

Two ways to calculate the probability of getting some x-Value or smaller from a normal distribution with a given mean and standard deviation.

Proportions

Activity from Statistics with 20 cases, 1 attribute. Useful for Activity

Shows the results of conducting a poll of “n” voters and recording the proportion voting “Yes” where the proportion in the population who vote “Yes” is given by “p”.

pValue distribution

Demonstration from Statistics with 30 cases, 1 attribute. Useful for Activity, Demonstration

Builds up to the question of what the distribution of p-Values should look like when the null hypothesis is true.

t vs normal

Demonstration from Statistics with 100 cases, 1 attribute. Useful for Activity, Demonstration

Allows comparison of the fit for a normal distribution with that for a t-distribution from randomly generated numbers.

Three Distributions

Demonstration from Statistics with 300 cases, 2 attributes. Useful for Demonstration

Shows three distributions, one skew left, one symmetrical, and one skew right, all with the same mean and standard deviation.

Various Distributions

Demonstration from Statistics with function plots. Useful for Demonstration

Shows density plots of several distributions, parameterized by sliders.
