What are the odds that a casino card dealer and a pair of Simon and Garfunkel wannabes know something about probability? This program begins by defining probability and sampling, experiments, simple and compound events, and sample space. Next, the formula for finding probability is analyzed, along with the composition of simple and compound events, mutually exclusive events, and complements of events. Finally, dependent and independent conditional events are discussed. (27 minutes)

		Hypothesis Testing, Types of Error, and Small Samples In this program, a helpful bunch of bullies comes to grips with null and alternate hypotheses, the significance level, the test statistic, acceptance and rejection regions, one- and two-tailed tests, and Type I and Type II errors. The essentials of d...(more details)
		Introduction to Statistics and the Relative Frequency Histogram After concisely defining the purpose of statistics, section one of this program uses Five-Card Charlie's Fuzzy Dice Cola to examine the concepts of population and sampling and to catalogue the elements of statistical problems. In section two, data de...(more details)
		Binomial Probability Distribution What is the binomial probability that Mickey, a lounge lizard, will get a phone number? After presenting the five characteristics of binomial probability distribution and explaining the binomial probability formula-including a review of factorials-th...(more details)
		Probability Distributions for Continuous Random Variables Using examples drawn from a number of sources-including "Statisticalisimo," the game show of statistics-this program outlines the properties of a normal probability distribution and takes a look at the mean, the standard deviation, the Z-score, and t...(more details)
		Random Variables "Maternity Glenda" is expecting twins. What, then, is the expected number of female babies? After distinguishing between qualitative and quantitative random variables, this program considers the relationship between probability distributions and hist...(more details)
