To help students
understand the use of
conditional probability,
a teacher can lead a
demonstration of the
Monty Hall Problem
using one of the many
available Internet
applets.
Tutorials, such as Mrs.
Glosser’s Math Goodies
Lesson on Conditional
Probability, can be given to
students who miss a class or
students that would like
additional instruction.

Assess
In some self-assessment tools like Trees and Conditional
Probability from Tutorials for Finite Math, students receive
immediate feedback when answering questions including hints for
incorrect answers and steps to correct solutions.

This slide from
Sampling
Distributions can
help a teacher guide
a discussion on
when the sample
mean can be
assumed to be
normally distributed.
This applet from Statistical Java
demonstrates the convergence
implied by the central limit theorem
by allowing students to manipulate
sample size, number of samples,
and underlying distribution.

Assess
This guided applet activity from Wise includes assessment
questions that, when answered correctly, allow students to
proceed to new concepts.

This guided applet activity from Wise includes assessment
questions that, when answered correctly, allow students to
proceed to new concepts.
An in-class activity
from the STAR
Library can help
introduce the concept
of regression.
Applets like this one from
SticiGui Java Tools
allow students to explore
changes in the data to
see how they affect the
regression line.

Using self-tests like this one from Biometry: Statistics for
Ecology, students can submit their answers and receive immediate
feedback regarding questions answered correctly and questions or
topics needing improvement.
