Exploring Graphs of Inequalities
Test ordered pairs to determine if they are part of the solution set to an inequality.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/exploring-graphs-of-inequalities
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
