World of Mathematics -- Probability & Statistics
This is a sub-page of the large and comprehensive Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics site which is separately reviewed elsewhere on MERLOT. At the time of review this probability and statistics area listed 19 subtopics including Bayesian analysis, descriptive statistics, probability, random numbers, random walks, and statistical tests. Approximately 350 separate items on probability and statistics were included.

Hypothesis Test for a Proportion
This Java applet tutorial prompts the user to input the components of a hypothesis test for a proportion. Hints are provided whenever the user enters an incorrect value. Once the steps are completed and the user has chosen the correct conclusion for accepting or rejecting the null hypothesis, a statement summarizing the conclusion is displayed. The applet is supported by an explanation of the steps in hypothesis testing and a description of one-tailed and two-tailed tests.

Sampling Distribution of the Mean Tutorial
This tutorial will help you determine how accurate a sample mean is likely to be, and how this accuracy is related to the sample size. Brief reviews of the normal distribution and the Central Limit Theorem are included as supplemental materials.
