Often represented as a number between 0 and 1, where 0 indicates impossibility and 1 represents certainty, a great deal of mystery lies within these narrow conceptual confines. This site, from Transum Mathematics, offers hundreds of probability activities, as well as links to other websites containing...

When the Scout Report last visited the Probability Tutorials in 1999, there were just twelve tutorials on this site. Since that time, the tutorials offered here have grown both in number (from twelve to twenty) and in their overall scope and breadth. The site was created and is still maintained by Noel Vaillant, who received his PhD from Imperial College, London. Currently, the site contains...

Teaching statistics can be a stochastic nightmare, but all of those dark clouds will part as users make their way through the fine resources offered on this site. The Statistics Online Computational Resource (SOCR) is based at UCLA, and their site includes online aids for probability and statistics education, including such handy tools as interactive applets, computational and graphing tools, and...

How many people do you need to gather in order to find two individuals with the same birthday? Most people who asked this question tend to answer with a number that is much too high.

In this...
