Online Statistical Calculators

NOTE: Please check with your instructor before using any of these calculators. These calculators should generally only be used to check your own calculations.

Many teachers want you to "show all your work" so it is important you know how to use the formulas.

Math isn't always about getting an answer, it's often about the process.

Helpful Videos

A brief overview of statistics and common vocabulary used.


Note: The narrator in the Simple Learning Pro videos uses the term "categorical data" but in your course you'll see the term "qualitative data". 

Learn about the Placebo Effect, Control Groups, and the Double-Blind Experiment


Quickly learn about bar charts, pie charts, histograms, stem-and-leaf plots, and learn about which type of graphical tool is appropriate for describing quantitative variables, and qualitative variables.


 

Note 1: The narrator in the Simple Learning Pro videos uses the term "categorical data" but in your course you'll see the term "qualitative data".

Note 2: Please skip time index 1:47 to 2:43. This video does not cover class boundaries (learned in chapter 2.1) so please skip this small section of the video to avoid confusion.

This video quickly demonstrates how to find and compare the mean, the median, and the mode. You'll also cover how the shape or skew of a distribution affects each of them.



Note: Your course will not cover Exhaustive Events so you can stop watching this video at time index 2:09

Note: For an example of making a prediction or forecast using your pre-calculated linear regression equation, skip to 7:25 and watch until 8:15. Also note that the presenter arbitrarily rounds the values of a and b. Be sure to round as indicated on your homework, quizzes, or tests.
