If two goals are scored in a hockey match between two equally-matched teams, what are the possible scores? This activity gives an opportunity to investigate probability in the context of sport, and is designed to be accessible to secondary maths students at Key Stage 3.
This Applet will assist the user in questions which specify a range of raw scores or z-scores and ask for a probability associated with them.
Site contains information on the statistical term standard deviation. It gives a definition and shows how to calculate it. It has a link to information on the absolute value of a deviation and how the topics are related.
This resource is the beginning of a series of pages that demonstrates the diffference between the mean and median of a group of numbers. Uses bar graphs to display the data.
Students will utilize an applet to further expand their knowledge of confidence intervals.
This visualization activity combines student data collection with the use of an applet to enhance the understanding of the distributions of mean square treatment (MST), mean square error (MSE) as well as their ratio, an F-distribution. Students will see theoretical distributions of the mean square treatment, mean square error and their ratio and how they compare to the histograms generated by the simulated data.

This lesson investigates the variability in the sampling distribution of the sample mean for a population. Provides a link to an interactive web app for looking at a continuous population distribution. Includes downloadable study guide with exercises - guide also covers other topics. [14:49]
Relative frequency is how often something happens divided by all the outcomes. Watch this tutorial to learn all the steps needed to find the relative frequency. [3:25]
This tutorial introduces you to unbiased sampling which can be helpful when trying to learn about a population. [5:04]
Bivariate data is data that has two variables. Take a look at this tutorial to discover facts about bivariate date. [4:45]
Video serves as an introduction to frequency tables which tell you how often something occurs in a set of data. [6:44]
When you are trying to learn a particular characteristic of a large population, you need to be able to study an unbiased sample of that population to be able to draw accurate conclusions. Watch this video for an in-depth explanation. [5:04]
This tutorial teaches about one of the ways to dissect a set of data called the interquartile range. [4:34]
SWBAT use a graph as evidence in a persuasive letter. SWBAT evaluate statements to determine which statement is true, citing evidence in the graph.
Introduce high school students to the art and science of statistics in the 6-minute video What is Statistics? from the Against All Odds series. Demonstrate how gathering, organizing, drawing, and analyzing data is applicable in everyday life and a variety of careers. Statistics is the art and science of gathering, organizing, analyzing and drawing conclusions from data.
