Statistical Inference Teacher Resources

Students practice visualization as a strategy for reading and comprehending math word problems.

Young scholars relate the economic growth of 18th century Deerfield, CT to that of America today.

Students play a game that illustrates the delicate ecological balance between fishing, fishing regulations and fish populations. They collect data and analyze the results.

Students plot earthquakes on the world map using coordinates of longitude and latitude. They designate the earthquakes magnitude with a symbol which they include in the map key.

Students use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

Explanation of the difference between population and sample mean. Includes notation and reasons for using sample mean to infer information about a population. [10:02]

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This Concept introduces students to testing a claim about linear regression.

The list editor provides a means for viewing, editing, and working with data lists. Students can explore distributions, tests, intervals, multiple regression, random sampling, goodness of fit and inferential statistics.

This is a pre-test for a statistics class. Since most systems want data driven analysis, this is a great way to get data at the beginning of the course on how much students know about statistics.

Practice making inferences from random samples.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept introduces the sampling distribution of the mean, inferring the population mean from samples and sampling error.

This lesson will help explain which inference test should be used based on the data set. The information is broken down in the form of a decision tree to help students understand the thought process involved. This tutorial also includes...

Practice making inferences from random samples.

When we want to carry out inferences on one proportion (build a confidence interval or do a significance test), the accuracy of our methods depend on a few conditions. Before doing the actual computations of the interval or test, it's...

When we want to carry out inference (build a confidence interval or do a significance test) on a mean, the accuracy of our methods depends on a few conditions. Before doing the actual computations of the interval or test, it's important...

View some examples of how Bayesian inference can be used for continuous data sets and be applied both in science and everyday life in this video. [11:13]

This video resource from Khan Academy provides practice questions for the SAT Math. Watch Sal work through a harder Data inferences problem. We make a confidence interval by starting with a sample result and adding and subtracting the...

A guide to support parents as they work with their students in statistics and probability.

This set contains questions regarding inference for the slope of the least-squares linear regression line. The student learns to develop hypotheses, find the test statistic, and reach a conclusion in the context of the original problem.

When collecting data to make observations about the world, it isn't possible to collect ALL THE DATA. So instead of asking every single person about student loan debt, we take a sample of the population and use the shape of our samples...

This resource provides interactive visualizations of probability concepts. Covers basic probability, compound probability, probability distributions, frequentist inference, Bayesian inference, and regression analysis. The authors are...

A complete definition of sampling distribution as well as the beginning of a discussion concerning were sampling distribution fits into the topic of statistics. Written by Dr. Hossein Arsham.

This set contains questions regarding Type I and Type II errors, and the power of an inference test. Students differentiate between Type I and Type II errors, and their relationship to the null and alternative hypotheses.

Given a random sample, practice figuring out what can we reasonably infer about the entire population? Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
