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
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 A Kanban?
In this activity, students use the CellSheet™ Application to understand how to track inventory and predict future trends based on average daily use. They will collect data, analyze it and make predictions. They also learn to use linear regression model to predict future trends.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-a-kanban
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
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
NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Soft Target" - Are You Sure?
In "Soft Target," Charlie uses Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), a multiple regression method, to predict the next terrorist attack. This method, like many others used to predict events, may use a tree diagram to visualize possibilities. The use of tree diagrams is seen in probability.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--soft-target--are-you-sure
Square it Up!
Students investigate the method of least squares by finding the residuals and the sum of the squares of the residuals.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/square-it-up_1
Collecting Pens (Continued)
In this activity, students learn how to instruct the calculator to collect and organize the results from several trials of a simulation designed to find out how many boxes of cereals a customer would have to buy to collect all six color pens. Students enter a prewritten program, analyze the resul...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/collecting-pens-continued
Collecting Pens
Students explore simulation strategies to solve real world problems involving probability and randomness.

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Rampage" - I...It...Itera...Iteration
In "Rampage," a suspect enters the FBI Bullpen and moves about, apparently shooting people at random.
