[Athen] Statistics - Z-table

[Shawn Foster]

Z-tables, like many other tables, are a reference; they're really not meant
to be memorized. Braille could be useful, perhaps. However, it might be
worth considering whether a table with MathML would be more helpful. Maybe
produce one page of each, give the student a problem or two (with the help
of the professor) that would reference _just_ that page, and let the
student decide which one works better?

Or is there a more automated solution that the student could provide row
and column information for, and then the software spits out the answer?
(I'm pretty sure I remember that a TI-84 can do this.) Still provides the
pedagogical function of learning to use tabular information to get the
answer, but cuts out the very visual middleman.
