Texas Instruments: Special Cases of Normally Distributed Data
Students perform single and two-sample t procedures to investigate special cases of normally distributed data. They explore inference for a least-square regression line, including the confidence interval.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Describing Categorical Data
Students analyze the distribution of categorical data. They calculate percents and visually compare the data sets with a bar chart.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: The Normal Distribution
In this activity, students will apply the normal density function, normal cumulative distribution function, and inverse normal cumulative function to analyze a population with a normal distribution.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Describing Bivariate Data (Two Quantitative Variables)
Students explore the relationship between two quantitative variables in bivariate data using various x-y plots. They compare the relationships for several categories on the same plot. Students calculate the correlation coefficient to...
