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...

Relating Rates - IB

Students are given a situation of water draining out of a cylindrical tank in order to explain the process of solving related rates questions.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/relating-rates_1

Center and Spread

Students will recognize that the mean and standard deviation (SD) and the median and interquartile range (IQR) are two ways to measure center and spread.

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...

Chi-Square Distributions

Students compare the Chi-Square distribution to the standard normal distribution and determine how the Chi-Square distribution changes as they increase the degrees of freedom.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/chisquare-distributions_1

Comparing Prices

Students will compare average U.S. gasoline prices per gallon for two years. Then they will use the mean and standard deviation (SD) and the median and interquartile range (IQR) to measure the center and spread of price data.
