Assessment of sampling variation applets during development
Teaching Statistics, Volume 48, Issue S1, Page S97-S121, Summer 2026.Abstract Concepts relating to sampling variation are known to be difficult for learners in introductory classes. There is some evidence that web‐based visualization tools, or “applets,” may aid the learning of these challenging ideas. Four freely available applets developed at the authors' institution were extensively tested through sessions involving ...
