Taylor Polynomials
Students learn to define a Taylor polynomial approximation to a function f of degree n about a point x = a. They also learn to graph convergence of Taylor polynomials. They use Taylor polynomials to approximate function values.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/taylor-polynomials_1
Estimating a Population Proportion
Students find the confidence interval for a population proportion by first finding the critical value and the margin of error. They find confidence intervals for real-life scenarios and use those intervals to make a judgment about a claim. Finally, they use two formulas for finding the required s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/estimating-a-population-proportion_1
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_1
Out of Control!
Students make XY Line Plots and scatter plots to create run charts and control charts (types of time plots) to determine if a manufacturing process is statistically stable. Students begin by looking for any unusual patterns or trends in variation and then calculate sample means and upper and lowe...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/out-of-control
