NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Democracy" - No Desk Left Behind
In "Democracy", Charlie calculates the likelihood that five people who knew each other would have died by accident in a two-week period. He estimates that the odds of this are 700 million to 1. To estimate likelihood of an event, a simulation can be used. In this activity, students use a simulati...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--democracy--no-desk-left-behind
Some Nonparametric Tests
Students explore nonparametric tests for dependent and independent data samples.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/some-nonparametric-tests
What's Normal, Anyway?
Students explore normal distribution and several properties. First, simulate a binomial experiment and use a histogram of the data to examine the general shape of a normal curve. They graph a normal distribution given the mean and standard deviation. They see how the graph changes when just the m...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/whats-normal-anyway_1
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Contenders" - Dialing Ben
In "Contenders," David's friend, Ben Ellis, is a suspect of two murders. The FBI can not find Ben when he stops using his cell phone. Charlie explains that Ben may be using a friend's cell phone and might be identified by his unique calling pattern, so he compares the cell phone records of Ben an...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--contenders--dialing-ben
Means With Confidence
Students estimate the true mean of a population when the standard deviation is known by finding the sample mean, margin of error and confidence interval.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/means-with-confidence
What Is Your Grade (Part 2)
In this activity, students use the CellSheet Application to determine the missing value in a weighted mean. They use the application to write a formula to find the weighted mean and also learn to use the copy and paste features.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-your-grade-part-2
What Is Your Grade (Part 1)
In this activity, students will use the CellSheet Application and set up a spreadsheet. They will determine the mean of a set of values and find a minimum value to be added to a set of values to obtain a given mean.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-your-grade-part-1
Testing Hypotheses (Means, Proportions, and Standard Deviations)
In this activity, students evaluate hypotheses.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/testing-hypotheses-means-proportions-and-standard-deviations
What is Linear Regression?
In this activity, students will explore finding the line of best fit based on the sum of the squares of the residuals and determine what the linear regression line is.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-linear-regression
Testing Goodness-of-Fit and Two-Way Table Chi-Square
Students perform chi-square tests to see if data follows a hypothesized distribution. They also study the two-way table analysis.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/testing-goodnessoffit-and-twoway-table-chisquare
What! A Mistake!
Students learn about Type I and Type II errors. Then, for a given scenario, they calculate the probabilities of errors and the power of the test.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-a-mistake
Testing Claims About Proportions
Students find z-scores and critical values to test claims about proportions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/testing-claims-about-proportions
Using the TI-83/84 to Explore the Binomial Theorem
This lesson will introduce students to the binomial theorem through a variety of activities. Pascal's triangle and probabilities will be explored through problem solving. The binomial theorem, combinations formula, and the binomial probability function will also be explored. Students will dis...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/using-the-ti8384-to-explore-the-binomial-theorem
The Graphing Calculator Connection: Problem Solving and Investigations

Claims About Two Proportions
Students test claims about two proportions by calculating test statistics, critical values, and P-values, for both one-tailed and two-tailed tests.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/claims-about-two-proportions_1
Survey Project
Students survey other students (numerical and non numerical data) and calculate measures of central tendency (if possible) of data and make regular box-an-whisker plots and outlier box-and-whisker plots to analyze the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/survey-project
Chi-Squared Tests
In this activity, students will look at a problem situation that involves categorical data and will determine which is the appropriate chi-square test to use: the chi-squared goodness of fit or the chi-squared two-way test.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/chisquare-distributions
