Young scholars examine how to take a sample by looking at rocks in the schoolyard. For this sampling lesson, students discuss ways to classify rocks by color, size, and weight. They think about how many rocks would make a good sample of playground rocks. They listen to Byrd Baylor's, Everybody Needs a Rock, which describes the "perfect rock" before they write a journal entry describing a rock that is just right.
In this six page series of activity, students answer short answer questions about a variety of topics. The six topics covered in this packet are: Experimental Design (4 questions), Probability Distributions (3 multiple choice questions), Normal Distributions (4 questions), Z-Values and Confidence Intervals (3 questions), Bivariate Data and Correlation (2 questions), and Least Squares Line (4 questions). There are a total of 20 questions.
In this reaction times activity, students collect data about classmates' reaction times in catching a meter stick. Students plot the data on a table, create a histogram, calculate the mean, median and mode and make predictions.
In this Delta worksheet, students read and complete problems about Delta overbooking flights and then answer short answer questions. Students complete 5 questions.
Students construct two bell curves using two different yet related objects. For example, two kinds of Hershey's Kisses (plain and almond) or two kinds of dried beans (kidney and lima).
In this ACT and SAT worksheet, students answer short answer questions about the ACT and the SAT after reading about them. Students complete 4 questions.
In this probability and statistics worksheet, students use information regarding the standard deviation of normally distributed data to make inferences and predictions. The one page interactive worksheet contains five multiple choice questions and is self checking.
Statisticians analyze a data set of student IQs by finding measures of central tendency and dispersion such as mean, median, mode, and quartiles. They practice using a graphing calculator to find the values and analyze box plots and histograms for the data.
Young statisticians are introduced to box plots and quartiles. They use an activity and discussion with supplemental exercises to help them explore how data can be graphically represented.
Students collect statistical data. In groups, students play a dart game and then determine the distance between darts. They collect the data and plot the information on a coordinate plane. They identify the mean and the standard deviation.
