NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "The Art of Reckoning" - Spies Like Us
In "The Art of Reckoning," Charlie discusses the security of a prison. "It's a hyper-secure system, but prisoners have nothing to do except think about how to crack it. Like two opposing armies." Charlie explains that analyzing such a situation involves determining the 'probabilities of penetrati...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--the-art-of-reckoning--spies-like-us
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Spree" - A Pursuit Curve Problem
In "Spree", two lovers have committed a series of crimes at various locations. Agents Eppes and Edgerton have plotted a map of their movements and have enlisted Charlie's help in trying to detect a pattern. Charlie says that the map shows only half of the story, and this pattern 'is a variation o...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--spree--a-pursuit-curve-problem
Forecasting
Students use regression to forecast values from a data. They study exponential smoothing. They also use the program FORECAST to automate a multiplicative model.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/forecasting
Fitting an Equation to Bivariate Data
In this activity, students fit a linear least-square regression line to a population data. They explore various functions to model the given data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/fitting-an-equation-to-bivariate-data
