Description
This self-checking Combining Random Variables Circuit gives your students meaningful practice with AP Statistics Unit 4 concepts—including adding/subtracting constants, multiplying by constants, and combining two independent random variables.
Students begin at Problem #1, solve, and then “hunt” for their answer in another box. That box becomes their next question, creating a built-in self-checking loop. This activity promotes independent thinking, accountability, and repetition without feeling repetitive.
Skills Covered:
- Effects of adding/subtracting a constant on μ and σ
- Effects of multiplying by a constant on μ and σ
- Combining independent random variables (mean & SD)
- Recognizing when standard deviations combine by √(σ₁² + σ₂²)
