Students are asked to give a reason why each statistic is misleading. This accompanies Bluman's Elementary Statistic Book, section 1-6. The worksheet has two pages, and answers are attached. **There is a PowerPoint to accompany the worksheet for class discussion.

This worksheet reviews sections 3-1 and 3-2 of Bluman's Elementary Statistics textbook. Students are asked to calculate Mean, Median, Mode and Midrange for sets of data. They are also asked to find the mean and modal class for grouped frequency distributions, and weighted means. There is one question regarding the distribution of data.

This project explores the theory of Biorhythms while helping students practice graphing and finding sine functions. They need to have a knowledge of period, amplitude, vertical and phase shifts for the sine wave. The essential question students are asked to answer is "Can you mathematically predict what kind of day you're going to have?" This project includes a grading rubric, Biorhythm explanation pages, Guided Practice, and two worksheets with questions regarding their graphs. I also inclu

These notes accompany Bluman's Elementary Statistics Book. The Unit is entitled Frequency Distributions and Graphs. The graphs covered are histograms, frequency polygons, ogives, pie, pareto charts and time series.

This PowerPoint presentation is animated to go with the pre-printed notes sheet which is also available for sale. All of my Statistics lessons are made to accompany the Allan G. Bluman Book, ELEMENTARY STATISTICS. Objective: To represent data in frequency distributions graphically using histograms, frequency polygons and ogives

This is an Excel activity for students that has them compute the standard deviation and determine which cities have the most consistent temperatures. There is a worksheet for Missouri, New York, and South Carolina. Each worksheet has three major cities and the average monthly temperature. There is also a completed project so that you can compare the formulas used. In the Missouri worksheet, students find standard deviation by using sums, and taking the square root of the variance. In the s

This zip file contains two-column fill in notes that aligns with Chapter 5 from the textbook Elementary Statistics by Bluman. The sections covered are: 5-1 and 5-2 Introduction and Probability Distributions 5-3 Mean, Variance, Standard Deviation, and Expectation 5-4 The Binomial Distribution The PowerPoint bundle that corresponds with these handouts is also available.

This is a one page handout that has students create their own design using line segments, then calculate slope, write equations, find x and y intercepts, and write the domain and range in interval notation. There is an example on the second page along with a grading rubric. This activity will take 1-2 class periods. It is highly adaptable. I left the file in Word 97-2002 format so you can tweak it for your needs. This is practice finding the equation of a line given a graph, but doesn't ha

This PowerPoint presentation is animated to go with the pre-printed notes sheet. All of my Statistics lessons are made to accompany the Allan G. Bluman Book, ELEMENTARY STATISTICS. These sections are on the Nature of Statistics, and the two branches of Statistics, Descriptive and Inferential.

This PowerPoint presentation is animated to go with the pre-printed notes sheet. All of my Statistics lessons are made to accompany the Allan G. Bluman Book, ELEMENTARY STATISTICS There is a group activity I made to go with this section.

This is a quiz over graphing sine and cosine with period and amplitude changes.

This activity was created to help introduce students to normal data distributions. This file contains an Excel workbook with instructions (for both 2010 and 2013 versions of Excel) for students to do the following: Find the Mean, standard deviation, median, mode, and the distribution of data within a certain number of standard deviations from the mean. Create bar graph and line chart of frequencies. Answer questions regarding data on separate Worksheet. This activity is totally editable, so you

This accompanies the Misleading Statistics Worksheet for lesson 1-6 from Bluman's Statistic Text. It could also be used on it's own to stimulate critical thinking and class discussion. The answers are set to appear upon 2nd click of slide.

This is a quick reference card I made for my Statistics course to help students with some of the basic formatting and formulas of Microsoft Excel as it relates to our projects.

This animated PowerPoint accompanies Allan Bluman's Elementary Statistics textbook. There is a pre-printed notes sheet to go along with the presentation. Objective: To be able to identify the four basic sampling techniques

This is a quick puzzle that correlates to the vocabulary in Chapter 4 of Bluman's Elementary Statistics textbook. Answer Key is included. There following terms are used: Probability Experiment Outcome Simple Event Compound Event Tree Diagram Complement Mutually Exclusive Independent Events Permutation Combination Classical Probability Empirical Probability Subjective Probability

I created this flow chart to help students navigate through angular and linear speed word problems. It is a simple formula, but they had trouble knowing when to convert, etc. The file is two pages, a blank flowchart for students, and one that has been filled in with the steps. Here is a type of problem that this resource applies to: "A wheel has an 18 cm diameter. The speed of a point on its rim is 9 m/s. What is its angular speed." OR something like: "A waterwheel has a 10 ft radius and r

This is a vocabulary review for Chapter 2 of Bluman's Elementary Statistics book. It contains terms such as: Class Width, pareto chart, pie graph, histogram, frequency distribution, etc. ***There is an editable, .docx version available of this worksheet. I created this file so that the numbers on the crossword puzzle would print out and copy better.

If you are teaching stats and incorporating spreadsheets, this might fit the bill for a fun activity for Halloween. The plus is it does have some educational value, as well as a fun Mystery Image sheet, as well. Students go to a website and read statistical information, then they create line graphs and answer questions in the first spreadsheet. In the second, they are just practicing their spreadsheet formatting skills by following step-by-step instructions to create an image. There are two
