E | Estimation | Central Limit Theorem | «Illustration»

This Java applet lets you explore various aspects of sampling distributions. When the applet begins, a histogram of a normal distribution is displayed at the topic of the screen. The distribution portrayed at the top of the screen is the population from which samples are taken. The mean of the distribution is indicated by a small blue line and the median is indicated by a small purple line. Since the mean and median are the same, the two lines overlap. The red line extends from the mean one standard deviation in each direction. Note the correspondence between the colors used on the histogram and the statistics displayed to the left of the histogram. The second histogram displays the sample data. This histogram is initially blank. The third and fourth histograms show the distribution of statistics computed from the sample data. The number of samples (replications) that the third and fourth histograms are based on is indicated by the label "Reps=."
