Why is adding variance important? A lesson outline defines a variance theorem and how it affects the data statistics. The instruction shows scholars the importance of considering the variance of data and why it requires independence.

Find similarities in seemingly unlike organisms. The second instructional activity in a series of 12 builds the concept of a taxonomy and explores the use of a dichotomous key. Learners begin in part one by attempting to group a set of...

Students factor polynomial functions. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems through factoring and distribution of the negative sign correctly.

Young scholars design models to simulate actual events using a random number generator on a calculator. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulations. Answer Key included.

Fourth graders solve a dominoes word problem, calculating all the possible outcomes for a sequence of events. They discuss the problem, apply counting strategies, create a tree diagram, and write an explanation of how they solved the...

Students define Pascal's triangle and special notations used to represent nth elements. In this geometry lesson plan, students solve problems using permutations and combinations. They compare the formula for permutation to that of...

Students complete problems on normal distribution equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students complete 11 problems out of their text book.

Sixteen problems present a variety of practice working with binomial probability and binomial distribution. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click...

The mathematics tutorial investigates binomial probability and the normal curve. The lesson consists of class notes, calculator tips, examples, and practice problems with solutions. The teacher resource includes a z-score chart.

Drop balls through a triangular grid of pegs and see them accumulate in containers. Switch to a histogram view and compare the distribution of balls to an ideal binomial distribution. Adjust the binomial probability and develop your...

This hands-on activity is appropriate for a lab or discussion section for an introductory statistics class, with 8 to 40 students. Each student performs a binomial experiment and computes a confidence interval for the true binomial...

This downloadable mathematics java simulation explores the binomial probability distribution model. The probability and number of trials can be changed to see the effect on the distribution model.

A tree diagram is a helpful tool for determining theoretical or mathematical probabilities. Toss a coin and watch as branches represent a toss of either head or tails.

This lesson will introduce students to the binomial theorem through a variety of activities. Pascal's triangle and probabilities will be explored through problem solving. The binomial theorem, combinations formula, and the binomial...

Questions cover the binomial distribution. Students identify characteristics of a binomial distribution and calculate probabilities for different ranges. Binomial mean and variance are covered in the link between the binomial and normal...

In this activity, students use simulation to justify the concept of the Law of Large Numbers. They understand that as the sample size increases, the relative frequency of which an event occurs approaches the probability of that event...
