摘要: WeBWorK is an open source on-line homework application supported by the Mathematical Association of America. There are presently tens thousands problems freely available on mathematical topics in WeBWorK, but very few areas probability and statistics. An ongoing project has developed a wide range questions for courses statistical sciences augmented to enable its communication with computing software R. This integration allows access R's rich facilities data manipulation, analysis, visualization hence permits creation probing diverse science. The described detail here, including examples questions, technical issues, student faculty feedback.
