Expectation Maximization and Mixture Modeling Activity
This is a pair of (1D and 2D) SOCR Activities that demonstrate random sampling and fitting of mixtures of Gaussians to model complex data (e.g., multimodal).
General Central Limit Theorem Applet and Activity
This applet and corresponding activity represent a general demonstration of the effects of the Central Limit Theorem. It is part of the Statistics Online Computational Resource (SOCR).

Coin Toss Experiment for the Law of Large Numbers
Ivo Dinov
UCLA School of Medicine
This applet allows an interactive investigation of the Law of Large Numbers through a coin-tossing simulation. It is an experiment within the Statistics Online Computational Resource (SOCR) collection.
To access the applet, go to
http://www.socr.ucla.edu/htmls/SOCR_Experiments.html
and selecting "Coin Toss LLN Experiment" from the drop-down list of experiments in the left panel.
In addition, the author provides a "Law of Large Numbers Activity" that demonstrates hands-on what the main points of the Law of Large Numbers are and how the applet illustrates these using random coin tosses.
There is a button on the applet that takes you to the activity page, or you can view it directly by going to
