Welcome,

    For a long page that's designed for someone with an 8th grade math background, heavy on vocabulary, light on computation, but no counting theory go to A Year of Statistics in an Hour or Two.

    For just the vocabulary from "A Year of Statistics in an Hour or Two" go to Statistics Vocabulary.

    For statistics resources stay on this page, MIDDLE GROUND, the statistics info page.



Computation Resources & Probability in Calc I
  • statsc.xls - a spread sheet that computes means, standard deviations, z-scores, and probabilities, expected values
     
  • stat.xls - a spread sheet completes computation needed for hypothesis tests
     
  • stat.gsp - The Statistics Sketchpad Teacher's Manual - the statistics I resource for analytic, pictorial, and concrete presentation of statistics using the Reimann Sums sketchpad, including the Cumulative Probability distribution to present material.
     
  • stat.gsp - focuses on the topics of uniform, standard normal, and normal distributions, stanines, between and within a interval, p(x < x.test), p(z< z.test), p(a < z < b), confidence intervals, alpha, p, and hypothesis testing images and is made possible by the ReimannSums.gsp, below.
     
  • ReimannSums.gsp - Reimann Sums & Boxes - See sheet "cum" for p(a < x < b ) graphically and computationally.
     
  • prob4calc.htm - Probabilitity for Calc I - Area Under A Normal Curve, Cumulative Probability, probability facts a calc I student should know
