Welcome to WISE!

Our goal is to provide students and teachers of statistics easy access to a wide range of resources that are freely available on the Internet. We invite you to explore our website and enjoy many wonderful statistics materials from around the world.

A special feature of WISE is the sequence of interactive tutorials on key statistical concepts (sampling distributions, the central limit theorem, hypothesis testing, and statistical power). The tutorials use dynamic applets that allow the user to explore relationships on their own. Guided exercises are designed to help the learner to take full advantage of the applets to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts and logic that underlie much of inferential statistics.

We invite your feedback on WISE. If you find any errors, if you have suggestions for additions or improvement, or if you find this site useful, we would love to hear from you. Drop us an email at wise@cgu.edu.
