There's lots of material on
the web which can help you in this class... and we've linked to
some of it below. Let Holly know if you find more
cool sites and she'll make links to them.
Descriptive Statistics
A basic descriptive statistics review (mean, median, mode etc.)
with examples & pictures.
Statistics Teaching Module
An internet teaching module for a short review of descriptive
stats (mainly central tendency measures). A
glossary of statistics terms, with links to other related terms. Going
back and forth between linked terms should help you elaborate your mental
map of how the various concepts are related.
StatSoft
on-line text has a nice review of elementary concepts.
Statistical
Calculations. This page links to programs on the web that will do
statistics for you. So if you want to run a correlation but don't want to
come in and work on SPSS... or do it by hand with a calculator.. try this
page.
**Finding
the area under the curve... useful for Homework #4! and here's another
link for
area under normal curves from a professor at Southwest Missouri State
University. You can also see the lovely equation that defines the normal
curve...and be grateful I'm not asking you to memorize it!
Statsboard. A
place to ask and answer questions on the web (like Motet but open to the
whole world). Haven't tried it myself.
