Texas Instruments: Measures of Central Tendency
Mean, median, and mode are measures of central tendency in data analysis. Each can be used to identify central tendency. Box-and-whiskers plots are a visual representation of collected data involving medians.

Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: "Take Out" Outliers
Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students create box-and-whisker plots for given data, and then determine which (if any) data points are outliers. Students determine outliers through two methods in this...
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Summarizing Distributions of Univariate Data
Students understand statistical concepts like center of data and the amount of data variation from the center. They calculate the measures of the center of a distribution and the measures of spread for the data collected as a list....

Texas Instruments: How Tall? Describing Data With Statistical Plots
In this activity, students' will measure their heights using a motion detector and describe the data using the statistical concept called box plot.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Measure Up
In this activity, students compare their height with the average height of students in the class. They create histograms to analyze the data, and construct box plots to summarize the height statistics.

Texas Instruments: Scatterplots and Correlation With Ti 89
Students input data relating the values of one variable associated with values of another and use these data to generate a scatterplot. From the scatterplot, they determine whether there is a correlation between the two variables and...
