X10 Course Instructional Modules
This page provides Web based access to interactive graphics programs for teaching statistical concepts in introductory statistics courses. They are designed to be as intuitive as possible, with no mathematical notation. They may be demonstrated in classrooms or used in homework assignments. Many other "applets" of this sort are available at the links we provide for teaching resources.-
