Need statistics help or with any other field or subject of applied mathematics or other fields? Try asking Dr. Math at mathforum.org. This is an online open forum where people can simply submit their queries on any mathematics related subject which will be then answered by Dr. Math in a couple of days. There are many people who have already asked questions on the website and they have been answered satisfactorily. The good thing about the Math Forum is that they cater to the student’s or inquirer’s direct mathematics problem, rather than supplying basic theories and facts that will merely require more explanation and application.

This is because the method of the Math Forum’s statistics help is learning by example. Many individuals send their questions such as math problems they encounter or other related things and Dr. Math answers it for them. Alongside the answers are more importantly the extensive explanations of Dr. Math in terms of his answer and as to which formulae and principles he used in solving the problem. He also includes the general rules in such a principle or formulae and includes other statistics help details such as exceptions and important things to note, as well as techniques on how to remember to get the formula right.

For example, in one of the questions, a forum poster asked for middle school statistics help, specifically about the definition of mean, median, mode and range. Dr. Math then answers by first proposing to define the terms and thus he gave a set of numbers which the student could presume as math grades. The first term, which is mean, is then defined in one paragraph, which is followed by a simple description as to how the mean is achieved and uses the number he has given earlier to achieve the mean as an illustrative example. He then moves on to define what the median is, explains the manner or formula used to find it and uses the same set of numbers to derive it for the example. And since the median is a bit more difficult to achieve, he provides explanation as to how it is taken. The same goes for the definitions, explanations, and illustrations of the mode as well as the range.

In the Math Forum, all the answers similar to the example above and saved and posted on the website, so that is there are other people who have the same question they can browse through the answers immediately. For the convenience of the viewer, each of the questions and answers are categorized by the field of mathematics and to the educational level they would most likely fall under. As for the forum, most of the mathematical fields are there, including statistics help, which are all subdivided into the five general stages of education, from the early school years to college.

There are also other statistics help websites on the internet, some of them are even on links where the Math Forum website is also featured. Just search for them and see which one fits you best.
