News: The Distributions app is now part of the all new "Art of Stat" app, which contains this and seven other modules. Please consider getting the Art of Stat app for the latest updates and features from the App Store. Simply search for "Ar of Stat" on the App Store. This app will continue to work, but future development is concentrated on the new Art of Stat app. Original Description: The Art of Stat: Distributions app explores and visualizes continuous and discrete probability distributions via sliders and buttons. Don't rely on boring and complicated graphing calculators that don't deserve their name. Instead, use the interactive graphics that this app provides to learn about probability distributions and visualize results side-by-side with the numerical solutions. Find probabilities or percentiles (two-tailed, upper tail or lower tail) for computing P-values or when working with discrete distributions. Obtain critical values for confidence intervals. Display the expected value and standard deviation, and simulate random numbers. The app works in offline (airplane) mode and indicates this by changing the background color. Continuous Distributions implemented so far: - Normal - Student's t - Chi-Squared - F - Exponential - Uniform - Gamma - Beta Discrete Distributions: - Binomial - Geometric - Poisson - Define Your Own Discrete Distribution, or choose from preloaded examples, such as Benford's Distribution of the leading digit
