Peer reviewedFlusser, Peter; Hanna, Dorothy – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1991
Demonstrated is the use of BASIC computer programs to simulate a binomial experiment and test a simple statistical hypothesis. The theoretical results are reached with the third programing attempt. All results, as well as computer programs, are included. (JJK)

Peer reviewedSmith, Thomas M.; Scariano, Stephen M. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1990
Presented is the change-point estimation which is a variation on point estimation for a two-sample problem. This variation relies on the elementary properties of the expected value and variance operators, is intuitive and is easily accessible for introductory statistics courses. Data for this exercise may be produced by a BASIC program which is…

Peer reviewedKennedy, Kristin; Schumacher, Phyllis – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1993
Describes the use of simulation to introduce the bootstrapping technique of creating confidence intervals for the mean, median, and variance. These bootstrap confidence intervals are compared to the traditional confidence intervals for the purpose of analyzing accuracy of the technique. A Minitab program to produce confidence intervals is…
