Mean and Median
Requires a browser that supports Java 1.1.
This applet demonstrates basic properties of the mean and median including (a) the effect of skew on the relative size of the mean and median, (b) the mean deviation from the mean is zero, and (c) the mean squared deviation from the mean is less than or equal to the mean squared deviation from the median (or any other number).
Concepts: central tendency, mean, median, skew, least squares.

Sampling Distribution Simulation
Requires a browser that supports Java 1.1.
This applet estimates and plots the sampling distribution of various statistics. You specify the population distribution, sample size, and statistic. An animated sample from the population is shown and the statistic is plotted. This can be repeated to estimate the sampling distribution.
Concepts: sampling distribution, standard deviation, standard error, central limit theorem, mean, median, efficiency, fluctuation, skew, normal distribution.

Confidence Intervals
Requires a browser that supports Java 1.1.
Confidence intervals on the mean are generated for simulated experiments. The confidence level and sample size can be manipulated.
Concepts: confidence interval, mean, standard deviation.

Normal Approximation to the Binomial Distribution
Requires a browser that supports Java 1.1.
This demonstration allows you to view the binomial distribution and the normal approximation to it as a function of the probability of a success on a given trial and the number of trials. It can be used to compute binomial probabilities and normal approximations of those probabilities.
Concepts: binomial distribution, normal distribution, central limit theorem, correction for continuity.

Confidence Interval on a Proportion
Requires a browser that supports Java 1.1.
The effect of violating the assumption that the sampling distribution of p is normal can be investigated by varying N and Pi.
Concepts: binomial distribution, normal distribution, central limit theorem, confidence interval.

Components of r
Requires a browser that supports Java.
The slope, standard error of the estimate, and the standard deviation of X can all be manipulated independently to see the effect on the scatterplot and on r.
Concepts: Correlation, slope, standard error of the estimate, variance, restriction of range, proportion of variance explained.

Restriction of Range
Requires a browser that supports Java 1.1.
The range of X can be manipulated to investigate its effect on Pearson's r and other aspects of the relationship between X and Y.
Concepts: Correlation, restriction of range, slope, standard error of estimate.

Repeated Measures
Requires a browser that supports Java 1.1.
This applet lets you investigate differences between correlated and independent t tests.
Concepts: t test, within-subject variable, between-subject variable, power, repeated measures.

A "Small" Effect Size Can Make a Large Difference
Requires a browser that supports Java.
This applet demonstrates that even a "small" effect can be important under some circumstances. Applicants from two groups apply for a job. The user manipulates the difference between groups on the variable on which selection is made and the cutoff for hiring. The effects on the proportion of hired applicants from each group are displayed. A related phenomenon is discussed in the article:
Martell, R., Lane, D. M., & Emrich, C. (1996) Male-female differences: A computer simulation. American Psychologist, 51, 157-158.
Concepts: normal distribution, selection ratio, effect size, omega squared, proportion of variance explained.

Chi Square Test of Deviations from Expected Frequencies
Requires a browser that supports Java 1.1.
You can specify whether you wish to sample from a uniform or a normal distribution. The applet does the sampling and tests the significance of deviations from these two distributions.
Concepts: goodness of fit, chi square, normal distribution, uniform distribution.

2 x 2 Contingency Tables
Requires a browser that supports Java 1.1.
Simulates experiments using 2 x 2 contingency tables. You specify the population proportions and the sample size and examine the effects on the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis.
Concepts: chi square, correction for continuity, normal approximation.

Reliability and Regression Analysis
Requires a browser that supports Java 1.1.
Demonstrates how the reliability of X and Y affect various aspects of the regression of Y on X.
concepts: reliability, standard error of estimate, slope, correlation.

Histograms, Bin Widths, and Cross Validation
Requires a browser that supports Java 1.1.
Demonstrates how a histogram is affected by bin width and starting point of first bin. Illustrates cross-validation criterion for assessing histograms.
concepts: histogram, bin width, cross validation, density estimation.
