Art of Stat: Distributions

News Feb. 2026:

The new Art of Stat app includes this Art of Stat: Distributions module and many other modules useful for statistics and data science. Please install the new Art of Stat app now.

However, this legacy version will continue to work

**********************

Original Description:

Modern statistical calculator for teachers and students of statistics.

The Art of Stat: Distributions app explores and visualizes continuous and discrete probability distributions via sliders and buttons.

Don't rely on boring and complicated graphing calculators that don't deserve their name. Instead, use the interactive graphics that this app provides to learn about probability distributions and visualize results side-by-side with the numerical solutions.

Find probabilities or percentiles (two-tailed, upper tail or lower tail) for computing P-values or when working with discrete distributions. Obtain critical values for confidence intervals. Display the expected value and standard deviation, and simulate random numbers.

The app works in offline (airplane) mode and indicates this by changing the background color.

Continuous Distributions implemented so far:

- Normal

- Student's t

- Chi-Squared

- F

- Exponential

- Uniform

- Gamma

- Beta

Discrete Distributions:

- Binomial

- Geometric

- Poisson

- Define Your Own Discrete Distribution plus several examples, like Benford
