What! A Mistake!
Students learn about Type I and Type II errors. Then, for a given scenario, students will calculate the probabilities of errors and the power of the test.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-a-mistake_1
Effective Blocking
This lesson involves investigating the effectiveness of two mosquito sprays in a large tract of land by using three different experimental designs - one randomized design and two randomized block designs.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/effective-blocking
Testing Claims About Proportions
Students find z-scores and critical values to test claims about proportions. To verify the results, they find P-values by either finding the area under the curve with the Integral tool, or by using the 1-Prop z Test command.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/testing-claims-about-proportions_1
Stratified Sampling
This lesson involves determining which of three different sampling methods - a simple random selection design and two stratified selection designs - would be most beneficial in selecting a survey sample within a given context.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/stratified-sampling
Statistical Inference: Confidence Intervals
The students will construct 1-proportion confidence intervals. This lesson begins by having the students construct a confidence interval with the formula and then leads them through the steps needed to use the Nspire's statistical applications to construct confidence intervals. Students would do ...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/statistical-inference-confidence-intervals
Finding Extraneous Solutions
Students will solve different types of equations step by step graphically. They will discover that some of the equations have an extraneous solution and they will investigate at which step in solving the equation that these "extra" solutions appear.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/finding-extraneous-solutions
Center of Mass
Students will identify and interpret the mean geometrically as the location of the coins on the ruler such that the sum of the distances on either side of the mean is the same.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/center-of-mass
Candy Pieces
Students will be introduce to hypothesis testing. Students are given the number of pieces by color in a bag of candy. They are asked if they think the bag could have come from a manufacturing process designed to produce equal proportions of each color. They will then use a chi-square test for goo...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/candy-pieces_1
Confidence Intervals for 2 Sample Proportions
Do senior citizens and college students have different memories about high school? The activity Confidence Intervals: 2-Sample Proportions involves investigating random samples from two populations from a large Midwestern city with respect to the question: "When you were in high school, did you h...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/confidence-intervals-for-2-sample-proportions
Properties of Logarithms
Logarithms are just another way of writing exponents. Just like exponents, logarithms have properties that allow you to simplify expressions and solve equations. In this activity, students Will discover some of these properties by graphing and confirm them with algebra.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/properties-of-logarithms
Solving Systems of Linear Equations with Row Reductions to Echelon Form on Augmented Matrices
This activity shows the user how to interpret a system of linear equations as an augmented matrix, row reduce the matrix to echelon form, and interpret the output to give a unique solution, generate infinite solutions, or conclude no solutions exist. The activity also shows how to check unique so...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/solving-systems-of-linear-equations-with-row-reductions-to-echelon-form-on-augmented-matrices
