## What is Wolfram Statistics Course Assistant?

Taking statistics? Then you need the Wolfram Statistics Course Assistant. This definitive app for statistics—from the world leader in math software—will help you work through your homework problems, ace your tests, and learn statistics concepts. Forget canned examples! The Wolfram Statistics Course Assistant solves your specific problems on the fly, covering descriptive statistics, distributions, and much more.

This app covers the following topics applicable to Statistics and Introduction to Statistics:

- Create a bar chart, histogram, or scatter plot of any set of data
- Find the mean, median, mode, standard deviation, quartiles, and interquartile range of a dataset
- Calculate normal probabilities and find information about the normal distribution
- Calculate binomial probabilities and find information about the binomial distribution
- Compute probabilities based on dice rolls and coin flips
- Find the best-fit line of a set of data points
- Select random integers or random real numbers

The Wolfram Statistics Course Assistant is powered by the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine and is created by Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica—the world's leading software system for mathematical research and education.

The Wolfram Statistics Course Assistant draws on the computational power of Wolfram|Alpha's supercomputers over a 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connection.

## Key features

- Solve specific statistics problems
- Descriptive statistics calculations
- Probability and distribution calculations
- Data visualization (bar charts, histograms, scatter plots)
- Generate random numbers
- Find best-fit lines

### 1/5 — Poor

*2020-05-19, version 1.3.1*

Very little explanation & just cobbled together snippets of topics. Waste of my money

### 1/5 — Not worth paying for

*2016-10-09*

Very limited functionality. Not worth paying for.

Math teacher

### 1/5 — Data edit

*2016-08-30*

I too was disappointed. 

I had expected to be able to enter data once and make all various calcs. 

But I can't edit data, it's not useful. The stats registers on my 30 yr old calculator far far better. 

With Wolfram I was expecting a tool that was useful. 

May I get my $2 back? Please?

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2015-09-30, version 1.2*

This app BARELY skims the surface of a statistics course. That and the keyboard for inputting data is a pain.

### 1/5 — Was expecting much more

*2015-06-04, version 1.2*

There is so little information.  For example, they only have two statistical distributions

### 1/5 — Does not run

*2015-04-13, version 1.2*

I would like my $ back. This app does not run.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-02-18, version 1.2*

Save your money

### 1/5 — Waste!!!!

*2014-10-02*

Well what is the probability of disappointment of this app.. 100% with a complement of zero % chance of successful satisfied customers.

### 2/5 — Very basic

*2013-12-26*

I expected a much more interactive experience. Most of the distributions included only have formulas for mean, standard deviation, etc. which I could have easily looked up on my own. Not worth the purchase in my opinion

### 3/5 — Useful but limited

*2013-10-29*

This app computes several basic statistics for selected distributions such as the normal and binomial. Basic descriptive statistics are also computed for arbitrary data sets input by the user. Bar charts, histograms, and scatterplots are produced and displayed.
The app's best feature is the calculation of probabilities for several distributions.
The limitations are serious but not disabling. Graphing and descriptive statistics are limited by the fact that data entry is strictly manual, one data point at a time. This means that only small data sets are practical to use.
The worst limitation is that there is no means to save or print the results. So a student using the app for homework must copy the output by hand. This is not an issue for numerical output such as a mean or a probability, but it is a big issue for the plots.
The best feature of the app and the main reason I would recommend the app to my statistics students is the probability calculations, which allow the student to avoid using tables.
