Probability Wizard in the classroom - Wes Loewer - 02-25-2022 07:01 PM

For years I have used the GeoGebra Probability calculator to illustrate Probability Distributions as part of our Hypothesis Testing unit. This year I switched to the Prime's recently added Probability Wizard. The reason I switched is because the Prob Wizard has a "Linked" option on the Center and Tails types. This option forces the left and right bounds to have the same area in the tails. This is exceedingly useful when demonstrating and calculating Critical Values and P-Values.

Thank you Cyrille for going back and putting that feature in.

GeoGebra, TI Nspire, TI-84, and NumWorks all have Probability Wizards, but none as useful or complete as the Prime's.
