Intro to the Central Limit Theorem
Students discover the Central Limit Theorem by simulating rolls of two, four, and seven number cubes via the random number generator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/intro-to-the-central-limit-theorem
Difference Between Two Proportions
Students use confidence intervals to estimate the difference of two population proportions.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/difference-between-two-proportions
Approximation of Pi Using Statistical Testing
Students will use a Monte Carlo method to collect data. This data, along with an area model of pi, will be used to approximate pi.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/approximation-of-pi-using-statistical-testing
Analyzing Variance (ANOVA)
Students analyze variances of various data samples.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/analyzing-variance-anova
NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Harvest" - Markov Chain Links
In "Harvest," Charlie is trying to identify possible destinations and unrecorded routes of an ambulance driver suspected of transporting stolen organs. Charlie tells Colby that they can use a Hidden Markov Model to help narrow down these possibilities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-2--harvest--markov-chain-links
