In this sociology topics worksheet, students read and complete the narrative for the assignment that requires them to compose final papers about social institutions.

Students conduct an experiment in which they react sodium bicarbonate with hydrochloric acid to determine the molar ration between the two reactants. Students must write correct formula and a balanced chemical equation and explain how...

Students will understand key concepts of data analysis and their graphic representations. Students will construct and interpret data tables, line plots, box-and-whisker plots and stem-and-leaf plots, scatterplots with line of best fit,...

This lesson looks at how to recognize patterns in a data display by examining the shape of a graph, the center, the spread, and unusual features such as outliers. Includes video. [11:16]

In this lesson on representation data, students explore how to make dot plots, histograms, and box plots and learn about outliers in a data set.

Students learn about the concept of interpreting raw data and finding outliers by exploring a tutorial. They can then test their knowledge by taking a ten question assessment that increases in difficulty as they correctly answer questions.

For certain data sets, such as home prices and household or individual income, is often described using the median instead of the mean. This activity explores the mean and median in some different situations to help you understand the...

Young scholars analyze data gathered from sensors and develop filtering algorithms for anomalies and outliers, then use these algorithms to make decisions on sensor data as it is being collected.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Using box-and-whisker plots to understand and interpret data.

This set contains statistics questions comparing distributions of univariate data. The student is asked to note the differences between distributions regarding center, shape, spread, and existence of outliers.

This is a great place for lesson information on the concept of analyzing data - measures of central tendency. Three other tabs are available besides the "What Is It?" link. Tips and Tricks, When Students Ask, and Lesson Ideas also...

In this task, students are asked to construct a box plot of the distances they live from school and describe the main features of the distribution. The purpose of this task is to develop students' understanding of how extreme data points...

In this exercise, students practice describing data distributions as clusters, gaps, peaks, and outliers. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

A comprehensive guide for exploring the topic of outliers with definitions, what is an outlier, how to find outliers using the turkey method and the interquartile range, solved examples, and interactive questions.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Make and interpret a box-and-whisker plot for a set of data.

Provides several graphical representations of multivariate data. This paper explains the graphs such as the scatter plot and several other graphs as well. Site is presented in notes and outline format.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students create box-and-whisker plots for given data, and then determine which (if any) data points are outliers. Students determine outliers through two methods in this...

Practice some nifty new vocab for describing data distributions. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this lesson students will create a class line plot using data collected from boxes of raisins. This activity will be used to collect, organize, represent, and describe data using the line plot.

In this activity, students will identify outliers that are influential with respect to the least-squares regression line. Students will describe the role of the location of a point relative to the other data in determining whether that...

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.

On this websites students explore the concept of outliers. Students are given several data sets and investigate how outliers can effect the mean and median of a data set.

Description and example of a scatter plot.

Enhance students' understanding of various descriptive measures with a visual interpretation of a mean, median, outlier, and the concept of distance-to-mean.
