Confidence Intervals applets(1) Confidence intervals on the mean are generated for simulated experiments. The confidence level and sample size can be altered. (2) This applet simulates finding confidence intervals for the mean of a normal random variable. A sample of size 20 is generated from a standard normal random variable.
Sampling DistributionsThis applet estimates and plots the sampling distribution of various statistics. You specify the population distribution, sample size, and statistic. An animated sample from the population is shown and the statistic is plotted. This can be repeated to estimate the sampling distribution. http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~lane/stat_sim/sampling_dist/index.html Correlation and RegressionAdd some points to the scatterplot. The applet will calculate the correlation coefficient and the sum of squares. You can also choose to show the least-squares regression line and the x-mean and y-mean lines. Very instructive! http://bcs.whfreeman.com/yates2e/pages/bcs-main.asp?v=category&s=00020&n...
"Old Faithful" HistogramThis applet teaches students in a very dramatic way how changing the "bin width" of a histogram can dramatically alter the shape of the histogram. Lesson: you should graph your data with a number of different bin widths and choose the one that you feel best represents the data.
Completing the SquareHere are two versions of Completing the Square - a web page from NCTM and an ActivStudio flipchart. Completing the Square web page Completing the Square flipchart
Virtual Slide RuleAn on-line slide rule. Brings back memories.... Click on the title above to download the slide rule in an Activstudio flipchart.
Derivative of y= x^2Move the red dot on the parabola and the gradient function (a linear function) is graphed below it. Very neat. From Manipula Maths. This applet also draws the graph of the 2nd derivative.
Derivative of Sine and Cosine FunctionsMove the red dot on the trig function and the graph of the gradient function is shown below. Very neat! From Manipula Maths. This applet also shows the graph of the 2nd derivative.
SurfingA man is riding on the surf. We set f(x) as the curve of the wave . Observe the slope of the surfbord. The trace of the slope is the derivative of f(x). From Manipula Maths.
