Abstract:
|
Simulation has become an important tool in teaching topics related to sampling distributions and inference in the introductory statistics class. Many of these simulations have been developed with Java applets and made available on the web. While these applets are easy to use and readily available to statistics instructors, they may not match classroom, laboratory or homework activities and are generally different than software used for data analysis. As a result, students can struggle with the transition between classroom activities and assignments, data analysis and simulation activities. In this paper I will showcase JMP scripts developed to take advantage of JMP's powerful interface features and to provide flexibility to match the simulation experience in JMP to classroom, laboratory or homework activities traditionally used to teach sampling and inference for the proportion.
