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...

But What Do You Mean?

In this activity, students learn about the concept of mean or average, in addition to learning several ways to find the mean on the TI-Nspire handheld (including using a spreadsheet and the mean command). Students also use these methods to find the mean when given the frequencies of each number i...
