Cal State San Bernardino: Central Limit Theorem Applet

For Students 9th - 10th Standards
In this applet, rolling of dice is studied. The number that lands face "up" on the die is graphed as the die is rolled repeatedly. The user begins to see, with increased accuracy, the standard normal curve appearing as the graph.

Fayetteville State University: Standard Error

For Students 9th - 10th
Standard error is discussed in terms of the Central Limit Theorem. The site mentions "Rule 3 of the CLT" as a means to eliminate the error. Here that process is validated in reason and supported with an example.
