Texas Instruments: The Normal Distribution
In this activity, students will apply the normal density function, normal cumulative distribution function, and inverse normal cumulative function to analyze a population with a normal distribution.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: The Normal Distribution
Students graph normal distributions, shade desired areas, and find related probabilities. They graph Normal probability scatter plots to check the normal (linear) shape of a data distribution.

Texas Instruments: Normal Distribution
This set contains statistics questions regarding the normal curve, its distribution, and its applications. The student, using the correct calculation, transitions between observed x-values, standard z-scores, and normal curve areas.

Texas Instruments: Plums and the Normal Distribution
This lesson demonstrates how the calculator's built-in numeric solver can be used along with the normalcdf function to answer a variety of Normal Distribution questions.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Special Cases of Normally Distributed Data
Students perform single and two-sample t procedures to investigate special cases of normally distributed data. They explore inference for a least-square regression line, including the confidence interval.

Shodor Interactivate: Normal Distribution
Change the standard deviation of an automatically generated normal distribution to create a new histogram. Observe how well the histogram fits the curve, and how areas under the curve correspond to the number of trials.

Texas Instruments: Area Under the Normal Curve
This LearningCheck document is a good review of how to calculate the area under the normal curve given certain scenarios.

Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: Galton Board
Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students find the probability of chips falling into each bin of a Galton Board (also known as a quincunx or Plinko board), and then graphing these data to form a normal curve....

Shodor Interactivate: Skew Distribution
Change the median and standard deviation of an automatically generated normal distribution to create a skewed distribution, allowing you to observe properties like what it means for the mean, median, and mode to be different.

Texas Instruments: Probability, Simulations, and Probability Distributions
Use simulation on the TI-83 graphing calculator to teach students about the distribution of sample proportions, distribution of sample means, the Central Limit Theorem, normal probability plots, and the Law of Large Numbers. Pick and...
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Sampling Distributions
Students study the distribution of sample proportions with a simulation. They find a small sample size leads to skewed distribution and as the sample size increases, the distribution becomes more normal.

Texas Instruments: Using Derive
In this activity, students use the Derive software to solve trigonometric equations, expressions with exponentials, and log equations. They also determine the equation of tangent and normal of a function; evaluate integrals, find area...
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Central Limit Theorem
This set contains questions regarding the Central Limit Theorem. The student sees that, as the size n increases, the shape of the sampling distribution gradually approaches a normal curve, and its population standard deviation decreases.
