Pages 264-272 | Published online: 09 Dec 2022

Figures & data

Fig. 1 Screenshots of the 10-question true/false quiz applet. (a) Each question has only two choices. (b) An error message for an incomplete submission. (c) A successful submission returns a grade instantaneously and erases the submitted answers. (d) The collective result from everyone in the class.

Fig. 3 Screenshots of the simulation results on the Match Letters with Envelopes applet. (a) The distribution of the total number of correct matches. (b) The distribution of correct matches by each envelope. A horizontal dashed line is placed at the theoretical relative frequency, 1/7.
