Still another set of probability and statistics problems with solutions is given by the Seanet company. It is natural to use Mathematica and Maple in probability courses. Ellott Tanis at Hope College describes the uses of Maple in a probability or statistics course. David Neal at Western Kentucky University has developed a series of probability projects using Mathematica. Using computer software in teaching a probability course.
Computer software has made a major change in the way probability and statistics is taught.
The biggest impact has been made by the ability to easily simulate chance experiments. In statistics this has allowed important probability concepts such as the Binomial distribution, law of large numbers, and Central Limit Theorem to be understood by the students without having to spend time developing formal probability and combinatorial theory. Many of the reform statistics courses have taken advantage of this. Probability courses naturally continue to teach formal probability theory but use simulations to help the students understand the formal mathematical model for probability. Most elementary statistical packages have the ability to do simple simulations with their software.
