Probability Resources

Below are several Web sites that have interactive tutorials and applets to help in various aspects of probability covered in class.

Rensselaer Continuous Random Variables - Good general information about uniform, normal, and exponential distributions. Contains several applets involving PDFs and CDFs.
Rensselaer Conditional Probability - Overview of conditional probability and Bayes' Theorem, but some of the applets do not always work.
CSUSB Probability and Statistics Java Demos - Good for calculating normally distributed probabilities but limited theory. Central limit theorem.
Central Limit Theorem Applet - Central limit theorem.
NSF Probability by Surprise - National Science Foundation site that has some nice applets, but lacking in theory and explanation. Good to check out, but not as a starting point.
