• Standard probability distributions
• Reproductive properties and linear combinations.
• Some standard confidence intervals.

• An interactive spreadsheet which simulates exponential data and executes the SPRT for testing the mean is available. You can enter the null and alternative means and the true mean under which the data will be simulated. The nominal types one and two error probabilities can also be entered by the user. After loading, starting with the last row, "FILL DOWN" all the rows to, say, row 300, enter the null and alternative, enter the actual, and watch it work. Scrolling down the page until the first entry in the decision column occurs will tell you the sample size and the decision.
