Curated OER
Center of Mass
Students identify the geometric mean of their data. In this statistics lesson, students collect data and graph their findings. They identify the mean, range and mode.
Curated OER
Z-Scores
Young scholars solve problems by identifying the percent of area under the curve. In this statistics lesson, students discuss z-scores as they calculate the different percentages under the bell curve. They calculate the standard deviation.
Curated OER
Assessing Normalcy
Learners define normal distribution as it relates to the bell curve. In this statistics lesson plan, students use the central tendencies of mean, median and mode to solve problems. They plot their data and draw conclusion from the graphs.
Curated OER
Normal Probability Plot
Students analyze the graph of a distribution. In this statistics lesson, students define skewed or mound shape distribution as they investigate the data behind the graph. They define and plot outlier as well as normal probability.
Curated OER
Looking Normal
Students identify the shape of a function. In this statistics lesson, students plot the data collected. They analyze their data for positive, negative or no correlation. They find the line of best fit.
Curated OER
Percentiles
Students analyze the bell curve and make predictions. In this statistics lesson plan, students calculate the percentile to the left of the curve. They then are given the percentile and create the graph from the data.
Curated OER
Probability Distributions
Students collect and plot data on a graph. In this statistics lesson, students analyze the distribution of a sample and predict the outcome. They find the line of best fit and discuss what would make the sample larger.
Curated OER
Why NP Min?
Students calculate the normal distribution. In this statistics lesson plan, students use the normal distribution to estimate binomial distributions. They define when to use NP and n(1-p) to make approximations.
Curated OER
Confidence Levels
Students collect data and graph it. In this statistics instructional activity, students rate confidence levels by collecting data and analyzing it. They graph their findings on the Ti calculator.
Curated OER
Meaning of Alpha
learners define the alpha level. In this statistics lesson, students identify what makes the "null rejected" and discuss the data surrounding the null. They observe the meaning of alpha as it relates to the bell curve.
Curated OER
Meaning of Power
Students graph exponential and power functions. In this statistics lesson, students test a specific hypotheses and draw conclusion. They use the graph of polynomials to test and draw their conclusions.
