Chapter 3 Practice Quiz
In this practice quiz, students will practice calculating measures of center, measures of spread, histograms, boxplots, outliers, z-scores, and Normal distributions. This should take 40 minutes to complete.
Data: No Data Set
Relative Frequency and Stem and Leaf Worksheets
In this worksheet, students will make ogives and stem-and-leaf plots. This should take 20–30 minutes to complete.
Z-scores and Normal Distributions Worksheet
In this worksheet, students will calculate z-scores and use the empirical rule and a calculator to turn z-scores into percentiles in the Normal distribution. While you could use tables, I recommend the probability tool in GeoGebra. This should take 20–30 minutes to complete.
Percent Change and Range Worksheet
In this worksheet, students will calculate ranges (max – min) and percent changes. This should take 15–20 minutes to complete.
Center Spread Histogram Boxplot Worksheet
In these two (2) worksheets, students will calculate center, spread, and z-scores, as well as making histograms and boxplots. Each worksheet should take 40 minutes to complete.
Chapter 3 Quiz (Version B)
In this quiz, students will be tested on measures of center, measures of spread, histograms, boxplots, outliers, z-scores, and Normal distributions. This should take 20–30 minutes to complete.
Chapter 3 Quiz (Version A)
In this quiz, students will be tested on measures of center, measures of spread, histograms, boxplots, outliers, z-scores, and Normal distributions. This should take 20–30 minutes to complete.
Chapter 2 Quiz (Version B)
In this quiz, students will be tested on types of variables (categorical, ordinal), including hybrid data and indices. This should take 20–30 minutes to complete., In this quiz, students will be tested on types of variables (categorical, ordinal), including hybrid data and indices. This quiz also covers percentages, percent changes, and percentiles. This should take 20–30 minutes to complete.
Men’s and Women’s Heights GeoGebra
In this data file, you’ll be able to demonstrate what the Normal distributions of men’s and women’s heights look like — and spoiler alert, it’s not bimodal. The heights aren’t distinct enough for that. This could take 5 minutes in class for a discussion. With a GeoGebra file, download it first, open GeoGebra, then go to the open existing file from computer option.
Quetlet Self-Measuring Activity
In this activity, students measure themselves with a tape or string to compare themselves to the distribution of their gender. This is an activity I offer with some trepidation. I would only have students do this activity if there is a generally positive, non-body shaming atmosphere — and I still wouldn’t let students compare their results to others. I might choose to cut out waist and weight measurements. And of course, I would talk to the students beforehand about the fact that data has only been collected on “male” and “female,” and why. This should take 20–30 minutes depending on how many tape measures you can find.
