As the growing up of WWW and the development of Java, the interactive computer-added education is becoming a trend in the future and it can promote the effect of teaching basic statistics with the application of this new media. The instructor can take advantage of HTML by combining with Java Applets to achieve the display of interactive education through WWW. In this paper, we will use six examples of Java Applets about statistical computer-added education to help student easily to learn and to understand some abstract statistical concepts. The key methods to reach the goal are visualization and simulation with the display of graphics or games. Finally, we will discuss how to use the Applets and how to add the Java Applets into your homepage easily.
