Using Intercepts to Interpret Data

Statistics come front and center in this unit all about analyzing discrete data. Real-world situations yield data sets that the class then uses to tease out connections and conclusions. Beginning with the basic histogram and...

Develop a straight interpretation with the aid of technology. Using real-world data, pupils construct a scatter plot and find a best fit line with the assistance of technology. Learners interpret the slope and the y-intercept within the...

No one wants to be average, so mathematicians use the term mean instead of average. The video explains how to calculate the mean, how to calculate the percent error, and why this information is important. Finally, the video considers the...

Sal trades his tablet for an Excel spreadsheet in this video, which covers fitting data to a line. Using a word problem about median income, he not only solves the problem but demonstrates how to successfully use scatter plots and Excel...

High schoolers use data collected in the previous two lessons to create spreadsheets and graphs. They interpret the data and then craft statements summarizing how their values compare to those of their community.

Start an engaging data analysis study with a review of charts and graphs using the linked interactive presentation, which is both hilarious and comprehensive. There are 27 statistics-related vocabulary terms you can use in a word sort....

The data is a little shady. The resource displays data using shades of colors. Pupils choose data sets about states and view a proportionally shaded map. Using the map display, learners compare different data sets as they relate to the...

Assist your math learners in reporting the number of observations shown in a histogram or line plot for a set of data. While this is a simple video lesson where learners may need additional practice to master, the resource includes a...

Using a map of Canada, pupils analyze given sets of data relative to the provinces and territories. The scholars have access to several data sets, giving them a complete picture. The interactive displays the data in varying shades along...

Examination of a second sample can either confirm or deny an inference about a population. The narrator explains how the first sample can mislead the results and a second sample may be necessary. Use the first video of this series to...
