Statistics without Formulas! 
 
Download Statistics101 Updated 2/10/2024. Version 5.9 What's new  
The Wizards module of the latest version of Statistics101 requires Java version 6 or later. If your computer has an earlier version of Java and can't be upgraded to version 6, then the new Wizards module will be unavailable but the rest of the functionality will still be available. 
Statistics101 is giftware, with no time limit and no price. I hope you find it useful in your statistical teaching, learning, or research. If you have an example that you think others might be interested in, please consider describing it in a post on the  User Forum. If you have a question or a problem, you can either post it on the forum or email me directly
Download and installation instructions (Windows Vista, Win7, and Linux users see additional notes below):

3. Click "Save" to save the installer file in a convenient location on your hard drive. 
4. Go to the folder where you saved the installer. Double-click on the file installStatistics101.jar. NOTE: If double-clicking does not launch the installer, then your machine probably does not have Java installed. Click on the Java button to download and install the Java Runtime Environment.

5. Follow the installer's prompts. Remember where you install the file so you can make a shortcut to it later (the installer currently creates shortcuts only for Windows systems). 
6. To run the Statistics101 program, double-click on the file Statistics101.jar or the shortcut to it that you made in the previous step.

Microsoft Windows users, please read the following: 
If, when trying to install the program you get the message "This directory can not be written! Please choose another directory!", then either follow the instructions above for Windows 7 or do the following: 
1. Move the installer to your desktop if it is not already there. 
2. Start the Task Manager by holding down Ctrl and Shift keys and pressing and releasing Esc. You can also start it by searching the Start Screen for "Task Manager". 
3. Click on the File menu and select "Run new task". 
4. In the text box type "java -jar c:\users\YOUR_USER_NAME\desktop\installStatistics101.jar" without the quotes and replacing YOUR_USER_NAME with the name of your user account on your computer. 
5. Make sure the "Create this task with administrative privileges." box is checked. 
6. Click OK. The installer will then run with admin privileges and will be able to write to the restricted directory. 
Linux Users, please read the following: 
To install Statistics101 under Linux: 
Download the installer from the website. It should work with Linux if you have Java properly installed. Don't let your Archive program try to extract files from it. Instead, you might have to run the installer in a terminal like this: 
  cd <directory containing the installer> 
  java -jar installStatistics101.jar 
Make sure you install the program into a directory in which you have full permissions.  
You might need to set the execute permission on the Statistics101.jar file. 
Once the program is installed, it must be run such that its working directory is the directory containing the Statistics101.jar file. So, probably the easiest thing to do is to create a command file containing commands similar to the following two, perhaps named "launchStats101": 
   cd <directory containing the Statistics101.jar file> 
   java -jar Statistics101.jar 
Then, whenever you want to launch the program, just invoke the command file.
Mac users, please read the following: If you get a dialog box reporting that "Statistics101.jar" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer, please see the following link on how to enable it to be opened: http://www.iclarified.com/28180/how-to-open-applications-from-unidentified-developers-in-mac-os-x-mountain-lion
