Goals

  • Using SOCR to compute probabilities or critical values for different distributions
  • Observe the shape of the distributions by varying their parameters
  • Explore relations among various distributions (e.g. Poisson-binomial, binomial-hypergeometric, normal-binomial, normal-Poisson)

Applet

Activities

Here we use Normal distribution (mean=5, sigma=4) as an example

  • Step 1: Set up parameters! Select the Normal Distribution from the drop-down list on the top-left. Set Mean = 5
