coin
flipping - Ken White
Simulate the flipping of up to 100
coins (with graphics).
throw
dice
Simulate the throwing of dice (choose
from 1 to 5). The total number of spots is found and a histogram
is drawn.

normally
distributed data
Normal
distribution - values from a normal distribution are represented by a histogram.
As the number of values increases, the histogram becomes more bell like.
normal
distribution - total area is 1
Poisson
distribution - shark simulation
Observe the number of sharks seen
in an area in different one hour time periods.

sampling
distributions
Samples are simulated from a normal,
uniform, skewed or custom distribution. Graphs and measures are produced
for different sample statistics (e.g. sample mean, sample median, sample
standard deviation).
Make
a random sample with or without repetition.

Samples of size 20 are generated
from the standard normal random variable and shown as blue marks. The sample
means and sample standard deviations are found and used to calculate and
display the confidence intervals.
