Simulation Software
Sampling SIM: This program allows the student to explore the nature of sampling distributions of sample means and sample proportions. The software provides separate windows for building population distributions, drawing and viewing random samples from the population, exploring the behavior of sampling distributions of sample means, and exploring the behavior of confidence intervals. The software is written for the Apple Macintosh computer and will work on 68040 machines and higher (PowerPC, G3, and G4). A Windows version is also available that works with Windows 95 and higher.
Sampling SIM is used in the following activities:

Standard Distributions: This program allows students to explore the characteristics of the standard normal distribution and Student's t-distribution. The software is written for the Apple Macintosh computer and will work on 68040 machines and higher. We are currently working on a Windows version of the software.
