Texas Instruments: Linear Functions Modeled by Data
Students submit their own data that can be modeled by a linear function. Students find the line of best fit, and discuss graphs of linear functions.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Probability Distributions
In this activity, students use the Derive software to compute binomial, hypergeometric, standard normal and normal probabilities, and explore inverse normal computations.
