BUS-2150 · Business Statistics

BUS-2150: Find patterns inside variation.

Use focused chapter labs for complete evidence workflows, or open a general-purpose explorer to investigate a model directly.

Live tool 01 / Chapter labs

Business Statistics Labs

Practice study design, inference, group comparisons, and categorical risk through four chapter-specific, browser-local evidence labs.

Live tool 02 / Probability

Normal Area Explorer

Drag z-score cutoffs and watch shaded probability regions respond across left, right, between, and two-tail questions.

Live tool 03 / Simulation

Sampling Distribution Explorer

Draw unusual populations, follow individual samples, and watch the distribution of sample means take shape through repeated simulation.

Live tool 04 / Relationships

Linear Regression Studio

Build datasets, compare your line with least squares, and inspect residual, ANOVA, extrapolation, and variance diagnostics.

Live tool 05 / Investigation

Statistical Investigation Studio

Practice the complete evidence workflow and diagnose hidden data-quality, model, and interpretation challenges across the course.

Live tool 06 / Probability

Student t Distribution Explorer

Explore how degrees of freedom shape tail areas, find critical values, and connect shaded probabilities to worked mathematics and Excel formulas.

Live tool 07 / Test design

Power & Error Explorer

Drag decision cutoffs, change sample size, and connect sampling distributions to Type I error, Type II error, and statistical power.

Live tool08 / Random simulation

Inverse Transform Lab

Turn a uniform random number into a simulated outcome. Trace the inverse CDF for Normal, Exponential, Poisson, Uniform, and Binomial models, then compare repeated samples with theory.

BUS-3150 · Operations Analysis

BUS-3150: Model decisions under constraints.

Build a model, see its geometry, and test how the best decision changes.

Live tool 01 / 2D optimization

2D Linear Programming Explorer

Add constraints, reveal the feasible polygon, and drag the objective function to discover the optimum rather than merely calculate it.

Live tool 02 / 3D optimization

3D Linear Programming Explorer

Build three-variable constraints, rotate the feasible solid, and move the objective plane to see how an optimum emerges in three dimensions.

Live tool 03 / Decision labs

Operations Decision Labs

Move from prediction to model to recommendation in four browser-local labs: LP sensitivity, network and integer choices, simulation risk, and forecasting carried into inventory.

Live tool 04 / Queue simulation

Value Stream Studio

Simulate a shared waiting line with one or more servers, choose arrival and service-time distributions, and explore queue-performance measures.

Live tool05 / Random simulation

Inverse Transform Lab

Turn a uniform random number into a simulated outcome. Trace the inverse CDF for Normal, Exponential, Poisson, Uniform, and Binomial models, then compare repeated samples with theory.

Live tool06 / Simulation and risk

Monte Carlo Studio

Build an editable uncertainty model, follow one trial, and compare thousands of outcomes. Explore Sanotronics profit and risk, or create your own model and save it for another session.

MGMT-4570 · Lean Operations Management

MGMT-4570: Make the work visible.

Map how work flows today, find sources of delay, and explore a better future state.

Live tool01 / Lean tools

Lean Operations Teaching Labs

Map the value stream, test whether measurements are trustworthy, and investigate process changes with fixed-baseline control charts. Three focused tools for existing Lean lessons.
