Statisticality vs CloudLabs Converging Lens

Partly a book, partly a set of demonstrations, and partly a tool, this app introduces you to basic statistics. Topics include box & whisker plots, histograms, median-median lines, linear regression lines, probability distributions, the Central Limit Theorem, and the normal curve. You can enter your own data or work with the provided sample data. Samples include information about US presidents, professional basketball players, coin flipping, dice rolling, the minimum wage, and the expansion of the universe! Each page inludes a Read Me button for basic instructions and a Details button for information about the underlying mathematical concepts.

This simulator recreates an optical table with a converging lens and two test objects. The goals of this lab are to experimentally find the focal length, radius of curvature, and power of the lens, as well as find the magnification of the image and determine whether or not it is inverted. During the laboratory development you will be able to observe the changes in the size of the formed image, as the distance between the object and the lens is varied.
