This Making Statistics Vital collection consists of forty independent activities covering the topics of exploring data, data presentation, measures of centre and spread, probability, discrete random variables, binomial distribution, the Poisson distribution, the normal distribution, sampling and hypothesis testing using the normal distribution, contingency tables and the Chi-Squared distribution, bivariate data, regression and correlation and Markov chains. Students have practical opportunities to explore and develop further their knowledge and understanding of statistical measures and their application.

Data Presentation: Histogram Reconstruction

Histogram reconstruction is an activity designed to enable students to gain a deeper understanding of frequency density and how it is used in the construction of a histogram.

Students cut out bars from a rectangle with which students construct three histograms using the clues given in three partially...

Measures of Centre and Spread: Cricketing MMM

In this activity, students are required to find the mean, median and mode from a data set, from a frequency table, from a grouped frequency table containing continuous data and from a grouped frequency table containing discrete data.

This resource is part of the Making Stats Vital collection from Jonny...

Measures of Centre and Spread: Measures of Spread

In this activity, students are introduced to the bee academy. A small set of data is provided and members of the bee academy explain how to find the range, the interquartile range, the mean deviation from the mean, the mean squared deviation from the mean, the sample variance and the standard deviation.

This...

Measures of Centre and Spread: Do We Divide by n or n-1?

This activity is designed to enable students to gain a deeper understanding of the topic of variance and the difference between finding the population variance and the sample variance. Students might expect that the sum of the deviations would be divided by n when finding the sample variance instead of (n-1). The...
