How do you measure surface tension? The fifth installment of a nine-part series is an experiment where young scientists use tubes of different sizes to measure surface tension. They calculate the average and standard deviation of the...

Pupils work to find probabilities by using areas under the normal curve. Groups work to calculate z-scores and solve real-world problems using the empirical rule or tables.

Learners apply their understanding of luck to a probability experiment. They play a game of Pass the Pigs to determine the probability of a specific outcome. Using analysis for their data, pupils declare the measures of center, dot...

Students brainstorm items they have that use memory and view Statistical Process Control PowerPoint presentation. They complete Statistical Process Control Simulation/experiment then find the average, range and standard deviation in...

Young scientists learn about sampling and normal distributions through data analysis. A worksheet guides them to better understanding and synthesis of knowledge.

How do we count the fish in the ocean? An engaging lesson models how to estimate fish populations with observational surveys. Class members begin by studying the behavior of fish on the coral reef in the oceans. They...

The t-test tutorial will fit your needs to a T. After calculating the mean, sum of squares, standard deviation, and variance of two data sets on a spreadsheet, scholars learn to calculate the t-values. They then learn to use the TTEST...

Collect and analyze data to find out something interesting about classmates. Groups devise a statistical question and collect data from their group members. Individuals then create a display of their data and calculate descriptive...

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.

Scholars apply prior knowledge of statistics to write a conclusion. They summarize using correct academic language and tell the story of the data.

All disciplines use data! A seven-lesson unit teaches learners the basics of analyzing all types of data. The unit begins with a study of the shape of data displays and the analysis of a normal distribution. Later lessons discuss the...

How do you find the area of an irregular shape? Class members calculate the area of an irregular shape by finding the area of a random sampling of the shape. Individuals then utilize a confidence interval to improve accuracy and use a...

What better way to study survey design than to design your own survey! Bring a versatile data analysis project to your AP Statistics class, and encourage them to apply the practices from their instructions to a real-world survey...

From z-scores to probability. Learners put together the concepts from the previous lessons to determine the probability of a given range of outcomes. They make predictions and interpret them in the context of the problem.

Is there a correlation or causation relationship between air pollutants? Groups develop a hypothesis about the daily variation of air pollutants, specifically ozone and CO2. Using Excel to analyze the data, the groups evaluate their...

Don't allow your pupils to become outliers! As learners examine normal distributions by calculating z-scores, they compare outcomes by analyzing the z-scores for each. 

What does it mean to take the mean of the mean? An easy-to-use interactive has users adjust the mean ages of different samples. Finding the average of these sample means gives an estimate of the population mean.

Learn how to show data in varied ways. A PowerPoint presentation provides six questions from the high school SBAC Claim 1 Target P item specifications. It covers creating data representations, interpreting and comparing data, and...

The news reports on rising sea level, but how do scientists measure this rise? Scholars use NOAA data including maps, apps, and images to work through five levels of activities related to sea level. Each level in the series adds a new...

There's no better way to prepare your class for the AP® test format than previous exams. Instructors and scholars use the 2012 AP® Statistics free-response questions to familiarize themselves with the test. Topics covered in the exam...

Familiarity with the AP® exam is highly beneficial for test-takers. Scholars use the 2010 AP® Statistics free-response questions familiarize themselves with the test content and format. Studies and experiments, linear regression,...

Are your classes ready for their final exams? Give them a test run with the 2018 AP® exam. The resource provides the six free-response questions covering topics such as confidence intervals, population proportions, and least-squares...

Knowing the questions ahead of time should be beneficial. Free-response questions released from the 2007 AP® Statistics tests provide teachers and pupils insight into the types of questions on the exam. The six open-ended questions show...

Statistically, prepared classes perform better. Teachers and pupils use the released 2002 AP® Statistics Free-Response questions to gain an understanding of how questions may be worded on the exam. Resources request that teachers put an...
