Probability & Statistics Academy

Learn probability and statistics by simulation, with made-up data from the town of Valdmere. Six modules and 18 lessons: kinds of data, samples and bias, experiments, averages, spread and outliers, z-scores, charts, misleading graphs, correlation and regression, probability and the law of large numbers, counting and the binomial distribution, conditional probability and Bayes, the normal distribution, the central limit theorem, confidence intervals, hypothesis tests and reading statistics in the news. Eight simulations: a festival survey with biased and random samples, a bus-delay explorer with a live box plot, spot the misleading graph, a scatter plot with the line of best fit, a dice lab, a medical test with 1,000 people, a central limit machine and a hundred confidence intervals.
