The Tale of Two Tangents
This activity allows students to investigate the relationship between the angle formed by two tangents to a circle and the arcs they intercept.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-tale-of-two-tangents
F Distribution
Students study the characteristics of the F distribution and discuss why the distribution is not symmetric (skewed right) and only has positive values. Students then use the Fcdf command to find probabilities and to confirm percentiles. They move on to find critical values and then compute a conf...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/f-distribution_1
The Integrated Medical Model
As NASA is designing a new spacecraft capable of taking humans into deep space, and with the future advent of commercial spaceflight, a deeper and better understanding of medical risk has become even more vital for maintaining spaceflight safety and health for humans.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-integrated-medical-model
Independence Is the Word
Students use a simulation to find the experimental probability of independent events. They will find the sample space and then compare the experimental and theoretical probabilities.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/independence-is-the-word
Probability Distributions
Students will describe how the distribution of a random sample of outcomes provides information about the actual distribution of outcomes in a discrete sample space.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-distributions_1
NASA - Newton's Cool in the Pool
To prepare for spacewalks, astronauts train at NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL). NASA also uses the NBL to develop flight procedures and verify hardware compatibility -- all of which are necessary to achieve mission success. In this problem, students are presented with a power outage, in...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--newtons-cool-in-the-pool
Roll the Dice
Students compute sample spaces for coin flips, find the various probabilities associated, and graph the probabilities using the calculator.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/roll-the-dice
Linear Regression: Wing Span/Height
Students take measurements of individual's wing span and height and create a coordinate graph. The activity should include at least three different grade levels. Students submit an equation through "Activity Center" and the class compares the different equations.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/linear-regression-wing-spanheight
