The use of monte carlo methods in the teaching of statistics

The power of computer simulation as a problem-solving is well known. The Monte Carlo study can be used in parameter estimation, hypothesis testing and resampling methods, such as bootstrap and jackknife. The educational role of computer simulation is considered in the paper. The use of Monte Carlo study can promote a deep conceptual understanding of statistics. The programs, which can be used for preparation the simulation projects and the examples of educational computer simulation are described in the paper
