Hi Somewhat old-fashioned, I know, but my preference would be that students create the tree in their minds!

But what if you don't have your stat book with you when the need to decide on the proper statistic suddenly and unexpectedly arises in conversation? ;) Students will always be carrying their smartphones around with them, but probably the same can't be said for their stat book. I just took a look in the Apple App store and I can't believe it - no one has created such an app yet! There is a niche to be filled my friend. A mountain waiting to be climbed! All tongue in cheek, but if it's easy enough to build, then, heck - why not. Michael A.
