Statistics Made Easy

This fermi problem is good for a challenge problem or substitute days. Students first estimate the number of regulation size baseballs that will fit in a 2 ft X 3 ft X 6 ft cabinet, then calculate how many baseballs will fit in the cabinet. They will need to understand concepts of volume of rectangular boxes and volume of spheres for this activity.

This project is designed to summarize a unit about experimental design. I use it as half of students' end of unit summative assessment for an introductory statistics course. In groups of up to 3 students, they use these questions to create an in class presentation. I grade the projects as students present them. This unit introduces students to the proper way to design and collect data from an experiment using vocab words such as Experiment, Observational Study, Subjects, Explanatory Variable (Fa

This statistics activity explores summarizing and displaying one variable quantitative data. Students will use concepts such as median, quartiles, calculating the fences for outliers, modified box plots, dot plots, and when we should use median and interquartile range as measures of center and spread. Good for summarizing a unit or for a sub day activity late in a unit about analyzing data.
