Includes tutorials, lessons, quizzes, flashcards, decision trees, calculators, and glossaries for terms, formulas, and symbols.
◊ “This app is the best statistics tool I’ve ever seen.”
◊ “This could very well be the future of university textbooks.”
◊ “It's a great tool to go to for an easy answer.”
◊ “I can learn anywhere or anytime.”
◊ “The quizzes help ensure I comprehend the lessons.”
◊ “It gives real-life examples in each lesson and tables so I can easily reinforce the information I just read.
The app was designed by educational psychology Ph.D.s, statistics teachers, and software experts. Many of us learned stats the traditional, boring way – through books and lectures. We always wanted more interactive, visual, and engaging ways to learn stats. Statistics has many abstract concepts so we use real-world examples to anchor your understanding.
