Classroom Considerations

• The class should be familiar with the statistic used
• Restricts the data points to no more than 21

• This resource is only available on an unencrypted HTTP website.It should be fine for general use, but don’t use it to share any personally identifiable information

Pros

• Provides links to lessons that use the interactive
• Includes a brief definition of the statistics available from the applet

Cons

• None
