ABSTRACT:
An instructional system or method for statistics students. Twenty slots are defined into which one hundred data cubes are placed. The number of cubes per slot varies from one to ten, excluding six. The slots with ten cubes are arranged adjacent to a center line, and the number of cubes per slot drops as the distance between a slot and the center line increases. The cubes model a normal distribution curve and can be used to estimate probabilities and other statistics concepts. The system associates statistics computational methods with the fundamental concepts of statistics in a manner that enhances the students understanding of statistics as a whole. The system also enables students with low aptitude for math and quantitative methods to grasp the concepts of statistics and pass the college tests for entering those disciplines which require a standard knowledge of statistics for admission.
