Exploring the Normal Curve Family

Students will investigate the relationship of the equation of a normal curve to its graph. They will use a slider to change the values of two parameters, μ and σ, to investigate their effects on the normal curve, noting in particular that μ represents the location of the mean and that σ represent...

Goodness-Of-Fit

Students test claims of whether given distributions "fit" theoretical distributions. Students will work through two problems, one in which the theoretical proportions of each category are the same and one in which they are not. Students will use spreadsheets to calculate test statistics and the I...

Testing Claims About Proportions

Students find z-scores and critical values to test claims about proportions. To verify the results, they find P-values by either finding the area under the curve with the Integral tool, or by using the 1-Prop z Test command.

Statistical Inference: Confidence Intervals

The students will construct 1-proportion confidence intervals. This lesson begins by having the students construct a confidence interval with the formula and then leads them through the steps needed to use the Nspire's statistical applications to construct confidence intervals. Students would do ...

Exponent Rules

This activity allows students to work independently to discover rules for working with exponents, such as the Power of a Power rule. Students also investigate the value of a power whose exponent is zero or negative. As an optional extension, students investigate the value of a power whose exponen...

Linear Inequalities

Students first look at tables of values to see that inequalities are true for some values of the variable and not for others. They then graph simple inequalities, comparing the handheld output with graphs they create on paper. The last two problems have students solve one-step linear inequalities...

Confidence Levels for Means

Students will interpret a confidence level as the average success rate of the process used to produce an interval intended to contain the true mean of the population. Students will recognize that as the confidence level increases, on average, the confidence interval increases in width.

Confidence Intervals for 2 Sample Proportions

Do senior citizens and college students have different memories about high school? The activity Confidence Intervals: 2-Sample Proportions involves investigating random samples from two populations from a large Midwestern city with respect to the question: "When you were in high school, did you h...

Move Those Chains

In this activity, students will explore the Chain Rule. Students are asked to make a conjecture of the derivative of f(x) = (2x + 1)2 based on the Power Rule. They are then asked to graph their derivative function and compare it to the graph of f´(x). They will then examine "true" statements abou...

Areas In Intervals

Students use several methods to determine the probability of a given normally distributed value being in a given interval. First, they use the Integral tool to find areas under the curve and to the left of given values. Students continue the activity to find probabilities for which the correspond...

Difference Between Two Proportions

Students use confidence intervals to estimate the difference of two population proportions. First they find the intervals by calculating the critical value and the margin of error. Then, they use the 2-propZInterval command. Students find confidence intervals for differences in proportions in rea...
