Description:

Stats, stats, stats! They are everywhere! How do we make sense of it all? This workshop will focus on statistics and how we can use technology to investigate statistical data. The TI-84 plus will be used in the analysis of stats. Week one we will use the calculator to visualize and numerically analyze one-variable data. We will extend the analysis in week two with discussion of two-variable data and a regression analysis. The residual plot and standard deviation will be discussed, as well as the correlation coefficient and the coefficient of determination in our quest for the appropriate model for our data. During the last two weeks, our discussion will extend to AP Statistics. Participants will have time to practice with data, to link and send data, and to practice on the TI-84. We will share our questions, successes, and pitfalls --“Where did my list go?”-- as we use the TI-84 in the study of statistics!
