More education in statistics is always beneficial. Given cards that provide the proportion of adults with bachelor's degrees in 10 random US states, scholars individually determine the sample percentage of states in which more than 30...

"Statistics is the grammar of science" -Karl Pearson. In the assessment task, learners read a claim made by a newspaper and analyze its conclusions. They need to think about the sample and the wording of the given statistics.

It's a good thing the resource dropped into your radar. Young mathematicians use an app that randomly drops balls through a Plinko game and into bins. They compare the distribution to that of an ideal binomial distribution.

In this statistics worksheet, students tell the relationship of two events. Students find the complement of given events. They compute the probability of a given event occurring.

Students collect and plot data on a graph. In this statistics lesson, students analyze the distribution of a sample and predict the outcome. They find the line of best fit and discuss what would make the sample larger.

Students collect data and graph it. In this statistics lesson, students rate confidence levels by collecting data and analyzing it. They graph their findings on the Ti calculator.

Learners investigate teachers and gender preference. In this statistic lesson, students collect data of teachers calling on learners to see if they are calling on one gender more than the other. Students examine the data and draw...

Students calculate the normal distribution. In this statistics lesson, students use the normal distribution to estimate binomial distributions. They define when to use NP and n(1-p) to make approximations.

Learners explore number relationships by participating in a data collection activity. In this statistics lesson plan, students participate in a role-play activitiy in which they own a scrap material storefront that must replenish...

Students experiment to see if birds prefer to eat bird seed with additives vs. no  additives.  In this experimental instructional activity students test to see if birds notice a difference between additive and no additive...

Fifth graders identify a set of data from a real world problem. In this statistics lesson, 5th graders identify the range, mode, median and mean using some manipulatives. They write words randomizing the letters.

In this statistics worksheet, students randomize words and number trying to find a specific sequence. There are 12 questions with an answer key.

Young scholars design models to simulate actual events using a tale of random digits. They estimate the likelihood of a particular outcome using results of simulation. Students investigate the uses of statistical methods to analyze data.

What are the chances? Teach your classes to answer this question using mathematics. The first part of a three-day activity on determining significance differences in experimental data prompts learners to analyze the data by...

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.

Calculators sure come in handy. An AP® Statistics instructional resource provides suggestions for using calculator simulations. It gives activities for adding variances, normal probability plots, and t distributions.

The 19th installment in a 25-part series builds upon the sampling from the previous unit and takes a larger sample. Pupils compare the dot plots of sample means using two different sample sizes to find which one has the better variability.

Don't leave your classes vulnerable in their calculations! Help them understand the importance of calculating a margin of error to represent the variability in their sample mean. 

Students gather appropriate information for simple statistical analysis. Then they will calculate probability working with a piece of literature that makes this lesson ideal for teaching across the whole curriculum.

Math whizzes select the statement that best describes the type of sampling being described. Each of the five problems describes a situation and students are presented with options options. An interactive hint button is provided for each...

Seventh graders collect data and make predictions. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders work in tiers collecting data and plotting it. They make inferences and predictions about their collected data.

In this probability-learning exercise, 11th graders calculate the permutation, combination and probability of an event occurring. There are 5 questions with an answer key.

Twelfth graders determine the probability of two people in their class sharing the same birthday.  In this determining the probability of two people in their class sharing the same birthday problem lesson, 12th graders use...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve word problems of the possibility of an event occurring using experimental probability. There are 10 questions with an answer key.
