Introduction to Statistics: A Teacher's Aide

The theory of probabilities and statistics is very important in computing and various other fields. As any other subject, it requires hours of study to understand its basics and learn how to make inferences about a population based on a sample.

Designed to serve both teachers and students, Introduction to Statistics: A Teacher's Aide provides a software utility that helps the first explain the concepts and provide practical exercises in class. It is created for high-school, college and university students alike, displaying brief explanations of basic concepts and delivering exercises to test a student’s acquired knowledge.

With a very light footprint on the system, the application is very easy to work with. You won’t be impressed by its design, as it focuses more on functionality rather than looks. Accessing the exercises is done via a simple menu and that is practically the entire GUI.

Please keep in mind that Introduction to Statistics: A Teacher's Aide cannot be used as a learning platform for statistics students but merely as a way to practice and comprehend the theory of probabilities.

The application features separate window screens for each of the available probability density functions it holds. It is designed to deliver practical demonstrations for various types of probability density distributions, with interactive charts and curves. In other words, you can easily change the input parameters for a particular distribution and view the effect in real time on the charts. The controls include scroll bars, so the modifications are extremely easy to apply.

There are exercises and curves for various probability density distributions, namely: normal, beta, gamma, binomial and geometric, Poisson, Weibull and uniform. For each of these, you can accomplish integrations with just a few clicks to calculate probabilities.

Introduction to Statistics: A Teacher's Aide is a simple application designed to provide assistance to students who want to learn about probabilities and statistics. It is a great practice tool for students and, as its name clearly states, a handy assistant to teachers.
