Comparing Double Line Graphs and Box Plots
Students are given a data table and are asked to look at the double-line graph to understand the trends that they observe in regards to indoor and drive-in movie theaters. They are then asked to investigate the trends that are presented to them when a box plot is created with the same data. Stud...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/comparing-double-line-graphs-and-box-plots
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
What is a p-value?
This lesson involves beginning with a null hypothesis specifying the mean of a normally distributed population with a given standard deviation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/what-is-a-pvalue_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
The German Tank Problem
Students will develop an understanding of sampling distributions by exploring the methods used to estimate the number of German tanks in existence during WWIIhttps://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/the-german-tank-problem
SD: Measure of Spread
This lesson is intended as an introductory activity to the concept of standard deviation.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/sd--measure-of-spread
Goodness-Of-Fit
Students test claims of whether given distributions "fit" theoretical distributions. Students will work through two problems, one in which the theoretical proportions of each category are the same and one in which they are not. Students will use spreadsheets to calculate test statistics and the I...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/goodnessoffit_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
Inverse Variation
Students explore multiple representations of the inverse variation function, beginning with a geometric representation (a rectangle with fixed area), and progressing to a table of values, an algebraic expression, and finally a graph.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/inverse-variation
Standard Error and Sampling Means
This lesson involves investigating the relationship between the standard deviation of a population, the area of a set of rectangles, and the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample mean areas of the rectangles.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/standard-error-and-sampling-means
