Home | An M/M/1 queue has Poisson arrivals and exponential service times. You can pick arrival and service rates and watch a real-time simulation. Coded by Johnny Tyme (J. Tong).

Home | You can simulate Weibull random variables and plot the histogram of your simulation and the density on the same axes. Coded by Russ Keldorph.

Home | Simulate sample paths of a Poisson process. Coded by Dale Everett.

Home | In testing equality of two variances, the test statistic no longer has an F distribution. under an alternative hypothesis. You can see the correct probability density of the test statistic, (sample var1)/(sample var2), where the numerator df are 10 and the denominator df are 8, by selecting the actual ratio c = var1/var2 of population variances along the axis provided. Coded by Derrick Whittle.

Home | Upper tail probabilities and upper cutoffs for chi-squares can be found here. Sorry, the current version does not run on Macs. Coded by Yonatan Feldman.
