Today we released the new Wolfram Statistics Course Assistant App for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. If you are a student of introductory statistics, the probability that you’ll love the all-new Wolfram Statistics Course Assistant is pretty high! The app will help you better understand concepts such as mean, median, mode, standard deviation, probabilities, data points, random integers, random real numbers, and more.

Learning about the normal or binomial distribution? This app will show you the probability density function as well as the cumulative density function and other information.



Heads or tails? The Statistics Course Assistant will teach you about the probability of coin flips. Find out general probabilities of flipping five coins as well as the probability of getting two heads if you flip five times.

Type in “(2, 5), (12, 17), (24, 26), (42, 44)” to find the regression line along with least-squares best fit, a plot of least-squares best fit, and a plot of residuals. This app will find the best fit for your data whether it is linear, quadratic, cubic, or even logarithmic.

This app is just one more in a series of planned Wolfram Course Assistant Apps that aim to help you grasp core concepts and gain a competitive edge in the classroom. We’re looking forward to sharing more new course apps with you soon. Do you need a tailored app to help guide you through other courses? Share your suggestions below. We just might build it!
