Learn Zillion: Video: 'Model a Data Set With a Normal Probability Distribution'

Statistics come front and center in this unit all about analyzing discrete data. Real-world situations yield data sets that the class then uses to tease out connections and conclusions. Beginning with the basic histogram and...

Through discussions and journaling, classmates determine methods to associate types of functions with data presented in a table. Small groups then work with examples and exercises to refine their methods and find functions that work...

You already know that the mode of a data set is the number that occurs most often in the set. But what if all of the numbers in the set occur the same number of times? I could tell you the answer, but I think you should watch the video.

Looking for the range of a set of numbers? Well, that means you are looking for the difference between the largest value and the smallest value. So first, write the numbers in order from least to greatest. Then identify the largest value...

The data sample comes from the number of glasses of water consumed each day by 15 students. You are trying to find minimum, maximum, median, and quartile from this data set. Minimum is the smallest number that occurs, while maximum is...

Mode, the number that occurs most often. A data set could have one mode, no modes, or multiple modes. The teacher explains these variations and even gives some example of non-numerical data and how to figure out the mode.

Middle and high schoolers examine how data squares organize and sort information and data sets. They discuss examples of data squares, complete a data square about themselves, organize the data squares for the class together, and compile...
