Statistics can be manipulated to say what you want them to say. Teach your classes to be wise consumers and sort through the bias in those reports. Young statisticians study different statistical reports and analyze them for...

Students practice formulating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis. They identify several sampling techniques they can use to test their hypotheses.

In this business and statistics worksheet, learners read real-life business problems, arrange data, and identify the probability method best used to determine the answer. They identify the type of random sample, draw stem-and-leaf plots,...

Manufacturers' claims may or may not be accurate, so proceed with caution. Here pupils use statistics to investigate the M&M's company's claim about the percentage of each color of candy in their packaging. Through the activity,...

In this word problem learning exercise, 6th graders problems using given information and mathematical equations.  Students solve for 19 problems showing work as needed.

High schoolers experiment and compare results of two populations. In this men and women populations lesson, students examine the difference in hand span for men and women.  High schoolers calculate a norm based on their...

In this probability instructional activity, learners solve and complete 16 various types of problems related to statistics. First, they determine the probability of the statistics that are true as shown. Then, students find the...

For this combinations and probability worksheet, students solve 3 short answer problems. Students draw tree diagrams to represent possible outcomes in a sample space. Students determine the probability of an event.

In this conditional probability activity, students solve 1 short answer problem. Students determine the probability of selecting an English book given a scenario at the library.

Determine the probability that the class knows probability. The three-question assessment presents problems with finding the sample space and the probability, theoretical and experimental, of a variety of situations. Pupils also describe...

Hypothetically, knowing the structure of a test should help. Pupils use the released free-response questions from the 2003 AP® Statistics exam to become aware of the structure of questions on the test. Half the questions in the set...

Learners make predictions and draw conclusions from given information as they learn the meaning of probability in this vocabulary-rich, integrated activity that presents a variety of teaching strategies to motivate and reach...

MAD about statistics? In the seventh chapter of an eight-part seventh-grade workbook series, learners develop probability models and use statistics to draw inferences. In addition, learners play games and conduct experiments to determine...

For this probability worksheet, 11th graders solve problems using simple random sample, cluster sample, bias, population and systematic sample. They match the questions to its definition.

Students demonstrate good random sampling techniques for data collection, select and develop graphic presentations of data and analyze the data to solve a problem presented.

In this probability worksheet, students find the probability of given problems. They compute both independent and dependent events. This two-page worksheet contains approximately 35 problems.

In this function worksheet, learners complete a variety of problems. They explore logarithms, find the y-intercept, identify the y-intercept, and complete distance problems. This seven-page worksheet contains 30 problems.

One of the key questions in statistics is whether the results are good enough. Use an activity to help pupils understand the importance of sample size and the effect it has on variability. Groups collect their own sample data and compare...

If you like rap music, are you more likely to like rock music?  Use statistical analysis to determine if there is a positive association between rap and rock in this particular sample. While the problem is relatively simple, the...

Students explore the topic of underage drinking. They find a focus and write a news feature/analysis that reports on what the community is doing to prevent underage drinking and some assessment of the extent of the problem.

In this probability worksheet, students find the empirical probability of an event happening. A sample problem is: "Find the odds of randomly choosing the letter W from a bag that contains the letters SUNFLOWER?"

What is the probability that two randomly seated people will be across from each other at a square table? Check learners' understanding of theoretical probability and compound events with this short assessment. A great opportunity to...

Students demonstrate how to find the probability of events. In this probability instructional activity, students use colored tiles in a paper bag and randomly select one at a time to record the probability.

Working in groups, the class will use what they know about whole number operations to solve a real-world problem involving a number line. They will focus on using the number line to correctly label the placement of whole numbers,...
