Description

Engage your students in their study of statistics as they compete in self-created Olympic style events. This project will engage students and help them discover meaning and apply concepts including measures of central tendency, quartiles, outliers, variance, standard deviation, z-scores, box plots, histograms, normal and skewed distributions.

This project can be completed in approximately 6-8 days (50-min class periods)

Standards

CCSSHSS-ID.A.1

Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots).

CCSSHSS-ID.A.2

Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets.

CCSSHSS-ID.A.3

Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers).

CCSSHSS-ID.A.4

Use the mean and standard deviation of a data set to fit it to a normal distribution and to estimate population percentages. Recognize that there are data sets for which such a procedure is not appropriate. Use calculators, spreadsheets, and tables to estimate areas under the normal curve.

CCSSHSS-IC.A.1

Understand statistics as a process for making inferences about population parameters based on a random sample from that population.
