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
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
Survey Project
Students survey other students (numerical and non numerical data) and calculate measures of central tendency (if possible) of data and make regular box-an-whisker plots and outlier box-and-whisker plots to analyze the data.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/survey-project
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. They use the Monte Carlo procedure to simulate the collecting of six different colored felt-tipped markers from boxes of Kellogg's cereals. They examine and analyze summary statistics and sta...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/collecting-pens
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.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/collecting-data
Density Curves
Students will be introduced to density curves as a simple analysis of a data set. They also will investigate where the median and mean lie on symmetric or skewed graphs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/density-curves
Is it Rare?
Students use the Poisson distribution to determine the probabilities for various numbers of hurricanes hitting the United States in a given year.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/is-it-rare
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
Candy Pieces
Students use a chi-square test for goodness-of-fit to determine if there is a significant difference between the proportions they find in the sample, and the proportions they would expect if the manufacturer produced equal proportions of each color.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/candy-pieces
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
Analyzing Variance (ANOVA)
Students analyze variances of various data samples.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/analyzing-variance-anova
Finding the Maximum Product
