Statistics Videos
Easily assignable and assessable, these videos clarify the most important and most potentially difficult statistical concepts and practices. The collection includes:
StatClips: Brief video tutorials by Alan Dabney of Texas A & M University that combine dynamic animation and interesting scenarios to explain essential concepts.
StatClips Step-By-Step Examples: Animated whiteboardstyle walkthroughs of statistical problems.
- Statistically Speaking: Snapshots: Documentary videos created by Coast Learning Systems and COMAP (Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications), Inc., showing how statistics is used in a wide variety of fields and applications—from business to medicine, from the environment to the census
StatTutors
These multimedia tutorials explore important concepts and procedures in a presentation that combines video, audio, and interactive features. The newly revised format includes built-in assignable assessments.
Statistical Applets
Now in HTML5 to be compatible across platforms, and including assignable assessment, Applet-based activities give students hands-on opportunities to familiarize themselves with important statistical concepts and procedures. The interactive setting allows them to manipulate variables and see the results graphically. Icons at specific points in the textbook indicate when there is a corresponding Applet online.
