Statistics and Probability Teacher Resources

This lesson explains how the Law of Large Numbers works in probability and how it can be used to find predictable patterns in data. Includes downloadable study guide with exercises - guide also covers other topics. [6:24]

Looks at the types of questions that statistics can address and explains how to tell the difference between a statistical and a non-statistical question. [7:50]

This site defines probability and has a computer-based random number generator. The site has links to more than 100 probability problems which require some prior statistical knowledge to solve, or they can be great "openers" for teachers...

In probability, we say two events are independent if knowing one event occurred doesn't change the probability of the other event. Examples and questions about conditional probability.

This lesson demonstrates how to find the probability of an event occurring. Students watch a video tutorial and then take an online quiz.

A set of questions on experimental and theoretical probabilities using coins and dice. Answers are accompanied by explanations.

Venn diagrams and the addition rule of probability.

Find expected value based on calculated probabilities. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Find expected value based on empirical probabilities. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Compare the odds and probability of an event occurring.

Find dependent probabilities like P(A | B) or P(B | A) for a variety of contexts. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This lesson focuses on the probability and casino games such as Roulette which consists of a wheel with the numbers from 1 to 36 colored in red and black, as well as a green 0. A ball rolls around the outside and randomly lands on one of...

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.

This site provides a general definition of the factors of a statistical experiment.

Fifteen problems presented on the topics: mean, median, mode, outliers and graphing statistics. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click the "View...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Read and interpret circle graphs.

The mathematics tutorial investigates statistical studies, central tendency, and dispersion. The lesson consists of class notes, calculator tips, examples, and practice problems with solutions. The teacher resource includes an activity...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Interpret circle graphs by using given data.

Practice using your graphing calculator for statistics problems, including displaying and interpreting data. If you get stumped or if you would like to check your work, then select the View Solution button, which is located directly...

Students will collect examples of various statistical instruments and form an electronic scrapbook. These materials will be gathered from electronic sources in addition to periodicals and other print resources.

This video is an introduction to probability. You will learn about how the addition (OR) rule, the multiplication (AND) rule, and conditional probabilities help us figure out the likelihood of sequences of events happening. [12:00]

This video introduces Bayesian statistics and discusses how this new approach to statistics has revolutionized the field from artificial intelligence and clinical trials to how your computer filters spam! We'll also discuss the Law of...

An introductory lesson in probability for students in grades three to five. The concepts presented in this lesson are interwoven, over time, into a current unit of study. Kids examine closely the "language" of probability as used in...

A compilation of resources devoted to teaching probability and statistics. The resources are broken into seventeen different objectives that have a problem, activity, and a game.
