Question in Bill's workspace
The data is fitted by linear and quadratic regression. First, find a linear regression equation for the $n$ data points, $20 \le n \le 35$.
They then are shown that the quadratic regression is often a better fit as measured by SSE. Also users can experiment with fitting polynomials of higher degree.

Application of the binomial distribution given probabilities of success of an event.
Finding probabilities using the binomial distribution.

Question in Jos's workspace
Template question. The student is asked to perform a two factor ANOVA to test the null hypotheses that the measurement does not depend on each of the factors, and that there is no interaction between the factors.

Question in TEAME's workspace
Find a regression equation given 12 months data on temperature and sales of a drink. Includes an interactive diagram for experimenting with fitting a regression line.
-
Question in Bill's workspace
Given a population size and data on a test for a condition on that population, use a tabular approach to find the increase in risk after a positive test in which there is a small chance of a false positive i.e. the probability that the test is positive even though the condition is not present. See Advice for a graphical version.

Question in Bill's workspace
Find a regression equation.
Now includes a graph of the regression line and another interactive graph gives users the opportunity to move the regression line around. Could be used for allowing users to experiment with what they think the line should be and see how this compares with the calculated line.
Also includes an updated SSE to see how the sum of the squares of the residuals varies with the regression line.

Question in Bill's workspace
Given a table of the number of days in which sales were between £x1000 and £(x+1)1000 find the relative percentage frequencies of these volume of sales.

Question in Bill's workspace
Given sample data find mean, standard deviation, median, interquartile range.
Note that there are different versions of the upper and lower quartiles, so you may want to include your own versions - see the user defined functions in the question.
