Texas Instruments: Logic of Significance/hypothesis Testing
This set covers the logic of significance/hypothesis tests. Students decide whether a one- or two-tailed test is appropriate. They also decide, by comparing the p-value to the alpha level, whether statistically significant evidence exists.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Taste Test
Students collect sample data and use the calculator to create pictographs, bar graphs, and pie graphs to demonstrate the favorite brand in the sample data.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Hat Trick
In this activity, students learn to solve a real-world problem in economics. Students get to understand how surveys often use a sample of people rather than all of the people involved. They also learn how to make decisions based on the...
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Do You Have a Temperature?
In this activity, students represent and analyze climate data. They use linear regressions to understand the relationship between temperatures measured in the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales and examine conversion factors.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Keeping Up With the Joneses
This activity explores what happens to measures of center and spread when outliers are introduced and when sample size varies.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: The Ordinary Man
In this activity, students estimate the heights of people and compare the estimates to the actual heights in a scatter plot.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Survey Project
Students survey other students (numerical and non numerical data) and calculate measures of central tendency (if possible) of data and make regular box-an-whisker plots and outlier box-and-whisker plots to analyze the data.
