Ninth graders discover that the amount surveyed affects the results and conclusions drawn from a survey. In this sampling lesson students explore the concept that a valid conclusion require a large number of entries.  Students...

An introduction to inferential statistics to find relationships and patterns in datasets.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This Concept introduces the Kruskal Wallis test, as well as demonstrates ho to determine the randomness of a sample using the runs test.

The video series shows students the relevance of statistics in real-world settings. The resource includes 26 half-hour videos. Topics include normal distributions, probability, random variables, experimental design, and describing data.

In this activity, students use a dice simulation to investigate how random sampling affects the properties of the distribution of a sample proportion, and are introduced to the sampling distribution of the sample proportion.

An explanation of how statistics allows scientist to explore the degree of uncertainty that accompanies conclusions that are based on data collected during experimentation and research.

Practice making inferences from random samples.

Given a random sample, practice figuring out what can we reasonably infer about the entire population? Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Practice making inferences from random samples.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Decide how to choose a sampling of a population to produce reliable statistical results.

This is a resource for many topics in probability and statistics. Click on the topic of your choice for an explanation. The sites you will be linked to are quite extensive. A degree of higher-level math is necessary for understanding...

Students review random variables and statistics. The resource consists of review exercises on the mathematics concepts.

The online quiz assesses student comprehension of math concepts. The quiz consists of true/false questions about random variables and statistics.

The topic summary outlines random variables and statistics. Some topics reviewed are normal distribution, Bernoulli trials, measures of central tendency, and variance. The resource consists of definitions, notes, and examples.

This site provides students practice with the concept of random sampling. Students can learn about the topic by completing an interactive tutorial. Students can then take a ten question timed test to practice the skill.

This page is a math home page that includes information on all topics of probability and statistics.

The list editor provides a means for viewing, editing, and working with data lists. Students can explore distributions, tests, intervals, multiple regression, random sampling, goodness of fit and inferential statistics.

Use random sampling to formulate, collect, and compare data from two populations. Written by Peter Banwarth of Oregon State University.

Use Glencoe's Math Course 2 randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of using statistics to predict. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers the variance for a normally distributed random variable.

This page provides links to various interactive experiments in probability and statistics.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Introduces students to the Central Limit Theorem. Students will learn about the Central Limit Theorem and calculate a sampling distribution using the mean and...

Upper elementary, middle, and high school students can use this exhibit to get an understanding of how polls and elections are conducted. The discussion includes random samples, margins of error, and other concepts related to statistics.

Students learn about random variables and histograms. Topics explored are continuous random variables, discrete random variables, probability, and frequency distributions. The tutorial investigtes the statistics concepts through class...
