FREE AP Statistics Activity - Intro to Linear Regression
Introduction to Linear RegressionVitruvian Man ActivityThis is a FREE resource that I use to introduce linear regression in my AP Statistics and regular-level statistics course.There are two parts to the Vitruvian Man activity. The first part is the activity we complete together in class, and the second part is the homework assignment students take home to complete.In the first part, students gather the class's data on their height and their armspan. They plot the data and are taken through the

The Normal Distribution - Made Easy
This activity requires students to flip a coin 100 times, exchange data with other students, and create a frequency table based on the results. Students should be able to recognize the structure of a normal distribution curve and explain how the associated statistics � mean, median, mode, etc. � relate to the probability of flipping a coin. Students practice creating frequency tables, constructing histograms, and interpreting data. Teachers may use this activity

Experimental vs Theoretical Probability
Have your students roll dice and look at the data. Discuss the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 vs experimental probability. What happens as the same size increase?Students work in groups of 2 or 3 and record their data. You can have everyone tell you their data and type it in, or you can have the students type their data into the shared google sheet. As they type the stats will update live and they have a graph showing them each roll. *Note: If you don't have dice you can use an online di

Experimental vs Theoretical Probability (FREE VERSION)
Here is a short little activity that I came up with to help students understand the Law of Large Numbers and the Difference between Experimental and Theoretical Probability. Cut out the pink and blue "tiles" or squares of paper/cardstock. I typically use 15 pink and 20 blue for this activity. The "pink" tiles are for cats and the "blue" tiles are for dogs.

Powerball Lottery Lab
This is a lab for statistics. Topics covered include histograms, specifically histograms with uniform distribution. Students will also explore theoretical and empirical probability as well as expected values.
I created this lab to be used with Statcrunch but it can be adapted for Excel or any other software that students can use to manipulate large files. You can go to this link (http://www.nc-educationlottery.org/powerball.aspx) and then click "Download Results" to get a csv file of all the
