Experimentally Calculating Pi

Because the diameter of a circle is related to the circumference of a circle, we can find this constant relationship by measuring several lids and fitting a regression line to the data. The slope of this line is pi. This is a great activity to allow students to discover that Pi is the relations...

Similar Triangles and Proportions

In this activity, students will investigate the relationship among the similar triangles formed when a segment is constructed parallel to one side of a triangle. They will explore the various ratios that exist between the lengths of the sides of similar triangles.

Segments Formed by Intersecting Chords, Secants, and Tangents

This activity is designed to help students discover several important theorems concerning lengths of segments formed by intersecting chords, secants, and tangents.

TI Using the Chi-Squared Significance Test

Students will apply the chi-squared test for independence to a data set of high school AP Statistics Exam scores. They will set up a two-way table and calculate the chi-squared test statistic by hand.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Testing Hypotheses (Means, Proportions, and Standard Deviations)

In this activity, students evaluate hypotheses.

Testing Claims About Proportions

Students find z-scores and critical values to test claims about proportions.

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "The O.G." - Is It Really Rare?

Suppose that historically, a shooting has occurred in Los Angeles an average of once every 6 hours. Suppose that Charlie is interested in the probability of 2 shootings occurring in a given 24-hour period. He could use a Poisson distribution to find that probability.

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.

Square it Up!

Students investigate the method of least squares by finding the residuals and the sum of the squares of the residuals.

Comparing Two Means

Students test hypotheses concerning means of two populations by calculating the test statistic and the critical values and graphing the critical region.

Describing One-Variable Data

Students sort data and display it graphically using various plots. They also get familiarized with statistical concepts like measures of spread and central tendency.

NUMB3RS - Season 2 - "Rampage" - I...It...Itera...Iteration

In "Rampage," a suspect enters the FBI Bullpen and moves about, apparently shooting people at random. Charlie examines a diagram of the killer's path through the Bullpen and suggests it might resemble Brownian motion. In this activity, students first model this motion with ten iterations by hand...

Collecting Data

In this activity, students investigate how to use random numbers to collect samples and how to randomly assign subjects to experiments to collect data. They also use the CBL system to collect data in real time.

Assessing Normalcy

Students use four criteria to determine if a data set is normal. They begin by looking at a histogram to determine if it is symmetric and bell-shaped.
