Session 110
Strategic Use of Technology Tools in High School Statistics
● Take the survey at http://tinyurl.com/CMCN-Session110 to provide the following data: name, height, arm span, eye color, gender, teaching level, and email (so we can send you links to all digital resources).
● Place a sticky dot on the dot plot (height) and another on the scatter plot (arm span vs. height).
Agenda● Univariate Statistics
○ Median-based (median, IQR, box plots, histograms)○ Mean-based (mean, standard deviation, normal curve)
● Bivariate Statistics○ Numerical (line of best fit, residuals, LSRL)○ Categorical (two-way tables, association)
● Probability (simulations)
● Digital tools: TinkerPlots, spreadsheets, Desmos, Fathom

From 6–8 Statistics and Probability Progression (page 7):It must be understood that the connection between relative frequency and probability goes two ways. If you know the structure of the generating mechanism (e.g., a bag with known numbers of red and white chips), you can anticipate the relative frequencies of a series of random selections (with replacement) from the bag. If you do not know the structure (e.g., the bag has unknown numbers of red and white chips), you can approximate it by making a series of random selections and recording the relative frequencies. This simple idea, obvious to the experienced, is essential and not obvious at all to the novice. The first type of situation, in which the structure is known, leads to “probability”; the second, in which the structure is unknown, leads to “statistics.”
