Statistical Applets

Simple Random Sample

A sample selected in such a way that every sample of the desired size is equally likely to be chosen is called a simple random sample (SRS). This applet lets you randomly sample a population of lotto balls, where the population size can be set anywhere between 1 and 500, inclusively.

Set the population size, then set the sample size n and click the SAMPLE button to take a sample. Click RESET to move all the balls back from the Sample area into the Population Hopper.
