Ways to compute the area under a normal distribution using a non-calculus approach.
Collaborative Statistics was written by Barbara Illowsky and Susan Dean, faculty members at De Anza College in Cupertino, California. The textbook was developed over several years and has been used in regular and honors-level classroom settings and in distance learning classes. This textbook is intended for introductory statistics courses being taken by students at two– and four–year colleges who are majoring in fields other than math or engineering. Intermediate algebra is the only prerequisite. The book focuses on applications of statistical knowledge rather than the theory behind it. The textbook is also available in printed form from Qoop.com.

Normal distributions are commonly used in Statitics. While normal distributions can be quite different, they can all be represented mathematically and they all have six distinct features that will be discussed in this chapter.
" This course will provide a solid foundation in probability and statistics for economists and other social scientists. We will emphasize topics needed for further study of econometrics and provide basic preparation for 14.32. Topics include elements of probability theory, sampling theory, statistical estimation, and hypothesis testing."
An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the concept of 'perpendicular'. The applet presents two intersecting line segments, one initially at right angles to the other. As you drag the end points of the line segments a message and the right-angle mark at the intersection tell if it is currently perpendicular. The goal is to show what a right angle 'looks like'. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.
This course introduces students to probability and random variable. Topics include distribution functions, binomial, geometric, hypergeometric, and Poisson distributions. The other topics covered are uniform, exponential, normal, gamma and beta distributions; conditional probability; Bayes theorem; joint distributions; Chebyshev inequality; law of large numbers; and central limit theorem.
