Use Glencoe's randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of finding the mean for a data set. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click the...

Use Glencoe's randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of Stem-and-Leaf Plots. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click the "Check It" button...

Look at the results of different experiments, and determine if they are statistically significant. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

As the pollster for candidate Higgins, you need to know how she is faring with different groups. Read her political profile, view the demographic profile of the city, decide on the groups to poll, review the results and learn about...

Play Plinko and develop your knowledge of statistics. Drops balls through a triangular grid of pegs and see the balls random walk through the lattice. Watch the histogram of final positions build up and approach the binomial distribution.

This project shows how mathematical probability sometimes contradicts our intuition. Despite the fact that there are 365 days in a year, if you survey a random group of just 23 people there is a 50:50 chance that two of them will have...

Students use Reese's Pieces to investigate the proportion of orange candies present in a set of 25. After collecting data for the class, they use a web applet to collect more data for random samples. This is compared to the actual...

The concept of random variables comes to life with this Applet used to roll one, two, six, or nine dice. The user selects the number of rolls to be completed, and the program quickly counts and graphs the results.

This resource provides interactive visualizations of probability concepts. Covers basic probability, compound probability, probability distributions, frequentist inference, Bayesian inference, and regression analysis. The authors are...

A random sample of 100 students from a specific high school resulted in 45% of them favoring a plan to implement block scheduling. Is it plausible that a majority of the students in the school actually favor the block schedule? Students...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to the not-so-well known Benford's Law, which helps identify random number sets that may have been fabricated. Students learn about Benford's Law by exploring...

This site defines probability and has a computer-based random number generator. The site has links to more than 100 probability problems which require some prior statistical knowledge to solve, or they can be great "openers" for teachers...

In this activity, students investigate how to use random numbers to collect samples and how to randomly assign subjects to experiments to collect data. They also use the CBL system to collect data in real time.

In this activity, students will to apply inferential statistics using a T-Test and T-Interval to analyze a random sample and determine the validity of a report.

This resource explains what generalization is in statistics, its advantages and disadvantages, and problems that can occur, e.g., sample or response bias. Includes detailed examples of sampling error and sample bias.

Overview of normal distribution, including the normal distribution model, the probability density function, and standard normal distribution. The parameters for "normal" distribution are provided.

In this task, students want to estimate the proportion of students in the school who thought of their parents as "strict". They do not have time to interview all 1000 students, so they plan to obtain data from a sample of students....

This site from Cornell University contains great information on random or probability sampling. Definitely a site worth checking out on the subject.

This lesson focuses on the probability and casino games such as Roulette which consists of a wheel with the numbers from 1 to 36 colored in red and black, as well as a green 0. A ball rolls around the outside and randomly lands on one of...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart gives students the opportunity for hands on exploration of probabilities using the dice tool and other real life probability cases. The lesson concludes with a 5 question Activote session.

Given a context, create a probability distribution. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Use this Common Core Math Standards Browser to search specific math concepts and their corresponding standards. This page focuses on Using Probability to Make Decisions. Click on the links to find lessons, activities, videos, and study...

This set contains statistics questions regarding surveys and survey designs. The student differentiates between a systematic sample, a convenience sample, a simple random sample (SRS), and a stratified random sample.

This lesson plan deals with conditional probability and the probability of simultaneous events. Problems included in this instructional activity tend to have solutions that are counterintuitive. This presents an opportunity to...
