A Statistical Study of the Alphabet

Learners solve and complete 20 different problems that include using a U.S. map and data table. First, they calculate the probability that they will select a state that begins with each letter of the alphabet. Then, everyone completes...

In statistics, probability rules—literally! Learners use their previous knowledge and explore a set of rules for conditional probability, independent probability, and complements. Given different scenarios, they must determine what type...

Roll the dice with this multimedia math lesson on probability. After first viewing a series of three short videos explaining probability, independent events, and dependent events, young mathematicians complete a set...

Statistically, practicing this packet completely helps young mathematicians do well on the test. The packet is adaptable to many grade levels as it includes basic probability and goes up to data analysis with mean, median, and...

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...

If I want to build up my heart, where should I start? Science scholars use statistics in a sports physiology setting during an insightful experiment. Groups measure resting and active heart rates and develop a scatter plot that shows the...

There is growing evidence that suggests the results of many studies are not reproducible. The 31st lesson of the Crash Course Statistics playlist discusses possible causes of the problem and identifies solutions since producibility is...

An explanation of key terms and vocabulary used in the study of statistics and probability. Includes examples and practice exercises.

This lesson explains how the Law of Large Numbers works in probability and how it can be used to find predictable patterns in data. Includes downloadable study guide with exercises - guide also covers other topics. [6:24]

Believe it or not, sometimes statistics can be misleading. Introduce young statisticians to Simpson's paradox, where the same set of data can show opposite trends, depending on lurking variables.
