Confidence Levels for Means
Students will interpret a confidence level as the average success rate of the process used to produce an interval intended to contain the true mean of the population. Students will recognize that as the confidence level increases, on average, the confidence interval increases in width.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/confidence-levels-for-means

In this lesson, students explore a simulation of a pH titration that includes a molecular view of the chemical changes that occur as a strong base (NaOH) is added to a beaker containing a strong acid (HCl) solution.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/molecular-titration
What Makes Us Stick Together?
In this lesson, students will use a simulation to understand a macroscopic view of what occurs microscopically when two nonmetals react.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-makes-us-stick-together
FormulaPro
Like the famous "EEPro" and "MEPro" applications bundled with the TI-89 and TI-92, FormulaPro is a complete engineering solution mostly based around equation solving. It comprises a Equation Solving part (700+ equations grouped into 16 subjects/categories) and a Reference part. Made entirely i...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/formulapro
Tiles in a Bag
How many tiles would you have to pick to be confident that your estimated probability truly represents the situation? In this activity, you will draw a tile from a bag, record its color and put it back in the bag. The bag contains 24 tiles some blue and some green. A green tile is considered a s...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/tiles-in-a-bag
Binomial Probabilities
Students simulate rolling a die and keeping track of the numbers of successes and failures by using the randBin command.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/binomial-probabilities
NUMB3RS - Season 3 - "Waste Not" - Different or Not?
In the episode, the FBI discovers that children in the area of a sinkhole seem to have an unusually high occurrence of cancer. FBI agent Megan Reeves believes that this might represent a "cancer cluster," but Charlie warns her not to jump to this conclusion too quickly. Students will use a statis...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/numb3rs--season-3--waste-not--different-or-not
Plotting a Binomial Probability Distribution Curve
