Interactive Demo
Linear Transformation Sandbox
Linear Transformation Sandbox is a free, interactive learning demo from the Statistics and Probability course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Z-scores, Percentiles, Linear Transformations, Normal Distribution. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 3 sliders, 2 buttons and a live visual canvas. This demo lives in the “Modeling Data Distributions” section of the course.
How to use this demo
- Drag the “Shift (Add): 0”, “Scale (Multiply): 1.0” sliders to change the inputs and watch the result update live.
- Use the “Standardize (Z-Score)”, “Reset” buttons to trigger actions or reset the demo.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Z-scores
- Percentiles
- Linear Transformations
- Normal Distribution
- Empirical Rule (68-95-99.7)
Frequently asked questions
What does the Linear Transformation Sandbox demo do?
Exploring the position of data points within a distribution and the properties of Normal distributions. Linear Transformation Sandbox turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.
What Statistics and Probability concept does Linear Transformation Sandbox teach?
Exploring the position of data points within a distribution and the properties of Normal distributions. It focuses on Z-scores, Percentiles, Linear Transformations, Normal Distribution, Empirical Rule (68-95-99.7) from the “Modeling Data Distributions” section.
What can I control in Linear Transformation Sandbox?
The “Shift (Add): 0”, “Scale (Multiply): 1.0” sliders change the key inputs; the “Standardize (Z-Score)”, “Reset” buttons run actions or reset the demo. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.
How does Linear Transformation Sandbox fit into the Statistics and Probability course?
The Client Challenge course is a comprehensive curriculum in Statistics and Probability, designed to take learners from foundational data analysis to advanced statistical inference. The course covers the visualization a… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Modeling Data Distributions” section.

What will I understand better after using Linear Transformation Sandbox?
You'll build intuition for Z-scores, Percentiles, Linear Transformations, Normal Distribution, Empirical Rule (68-95-99.7) — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on Statistics and Probability alone.
