Curated OER
Random Probability
In this statistics and probability worksheet, young statisticians solve and complete 13 different problems related to probability, percentages, and normal distributions. They consider data models, assumptions about the models, and find...

Empirical Rule Practice Problems
Using the empirical rule for a normal distribution, young statisticians determine the percent of adult women with given heights and weights. They find the percentile rank of a woman of a stated height and find the area under a curve.
