Seeing Statistics is a new
approach to teaching statistics using the World Wide Web. This webbook is based on
three premises:
- The important principles of statistics
are remarkably easy if they can be seen.
- Active involvement of the student facilitates learning.
- Statistics can be fun!
Most of the graphs and figures in this textbook are dynamic
and under the  control of the
reader. Interacting with the graphs allows you to see the important statistical principles
in action.
Rather than talk about it, it is best to view Seeing
Statistics in action. Click on the ENTER button to begin your exploration

Note: Seeing Statistics makes extensive use of JavaScript and Java
and so requires recent browsers. It has been tested on and works best on:
- MacOS: Netscape 4.0x, Internet Explorer 4.0x
- Windows: Netscape 4.0x (except 4.05), Internet Explorer 4.0x
If you do not have one of the above browsers you should upgrade to a free version
of the latest browser from either Netscape or Microsoft.
If nothing happens when you click the ENTER button,
then either your browser does not support JavaScript or JavaScript has not been enabled in
your browser's preferences. Either
enable JavaScript in your browser's preferences or upgrade to a newer version of Netscape
Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
