Percentiles

The goal of this activity is for students to use the area to the left of a value in a normal distribution to find its percentile. The process will then be reversed to find the value for a given percentile.

Somewhere in the Middle

In this activity, students will explore the Mean Value Theorem. Students will find out when the tangent line is parallel to the secant line passing through the endpoints of an interval to help them find the values of c guaranteed to exist by the MVT. Students will also test functions where the hy...

It's To Be Expected

Students use a tree diagram to find theoretical probabilities and use this information in a spreadsheet to find the expected value.

t Distributions

Students compare the t distribution to the standard normal distribution and use the invT command to find critical values for a t distribution.

Transforming Univariate Data

This lesson involves square root, logarithmic, square, and exponentiation transformations of skewed univariate data using a given data set.

How Many?

Students will explore Bernoulli probabilities. They will use them to calculate the probabilities of various single and cumulative events. They will also explore the Bernoulli probability distribution.

Transforming Relationships

In this activity, students will assess the strength of a linear relationship using a residual plot. They will also calculate the correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination to assess the data set. Students will then learn to transform one or two variables in the relationship to creat...

Why t?

This lesson involves examining the variability of individual elements and their related standardized test statistics when those elements are drawn randomly from a given normally-distributed population.

Tootsie Pops & Hand Span

Students will collect data, find the linear regression model of the data, and address aspects of the data that affect regression.

Too Many Choices!

Students investigate the fundamental counting principle, permutations, and combinations.

Why Divide by n-1?

Students will investigate calculating a sample variance using both n and n-1 as the divisor for samples drawn with and without replacement.

What’s Normal, Anyway?

In this activity, students explore the normal distribution and several of its most interesting properties. First, they use a histogram of data from a binomial experiment to examine the general shape of a normal curve. Then, they use a dynamic illustration to make observations, using sliders to ch...

What’s My Model?

Students will investigate several different regression models and determine which of the models makes the most sense, based upon a real-world situation (cooling a cup of hot chocolate).

Type 2 Error

This activity allows students to experiment with different alpha levels and alternative hypotheses to investigate the relationship among types of error and power.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/type-2-error

Probability Simulations

Students use the random integer (randInt) command to simulate probability experiments. They also graph the number of trials and corresponding probabilities to observe the Law of Large Numbers. Simulated experiments involve tossing a coin, spinning a spinner, and observing the gender of children i...

Probability Distributions

Students list outcomes for probability experiments such as flipping a coin, rolling number cubes, and observing the sex of each child born in a family. They use these outcomes to record the values of random variables, such as number of tails, sum of the cubes, and number of boys. Students then cr...

Probability Distributions

Students will describe how the distribution of a random sample of outcomes provides information about the actual distribution of outcomes in a discrete sample space.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/probability-distributions_1

Population Mean: σ unknown

Students calculate confidence intervals to estimate the true population mean when the standard deviation of the population is not known.

NASA - Spacewalk Training

In this activity, students will plot data, looks at patterns, and draw conclusions given a real-world context of astronauts training in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) in Houston, TX.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--spacewalk-training

NASA - Maintaining Bone Mineral Density

In this activity students perform an appropriate test to determine the answer to the question "Is using the iRED exercise method significantly better than using the treadmill and bicycle in maintaining bone density?"
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--maintaining-bone-mineral-density

Means With Confidence

Students estimate the true mean of a population when the standard deviation is known by finding the sample mean, margin of error and confidence interval.
https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/means-with-confidence_1

Re-Expressing Data

The students will learn to re-express data as a linear relationship even though the raw data does not fit a linear model. Students will learn important concepts involving data transformation and re-expression.

Comparing Linear and Exponential Functions

Compare data from two different scenarios -- linear and exponential growth.

Position and Piecewise Velocity

This lesson involves creating and comparing graphical representations of velocity and position based on real-life scenarios.
