From time to time we provide data or collect data to be organized, analyzed, and used in making decisions. For example, the registrar of vital statistics records our date of birth and our date of death. Periodically we are counted in the population census taken by the federal government. School children are always concerned about their scholastic averages. When planning vacations we are interested in data provided by the weather bureau.

Intuitive ideas of random sampling, of the effects of changing sample size, and of confidence in predictions were the main outcomes expected of students.

Cereal Box Problem

The Cereal Box Problem: A Lesson in Expected Value by George Reese Suppose there was one of six prizes inside your favorite box of cereal. Perhaps it's a pen, a plastic movie character, or a picture card. How many boxes of cereal would you expect to have to buy, to get all six prizes? It is not practical to go to the store and buy all that cereal at once. Suppose you got together with your friends and after a combined purchase of 8 boxes you do not yet have all six prizes. Should you be surprised? What if you don't have them all after 10, or 15, or 20 boxes? How many boxes do you think that it should take to get all six? Can you think of a way to model this problem without buying any cereal? Teacher's Notes Model the problem in your classroom Go on a java simulated shopping trip to get the Read More

Collect the Data Start with two students at the front of the room. (You're eventually going to need enough space for everyone in the class to get in a circle) Have the two students hold hands. When the timekeeper says "now" the first person should squeeze the hand of the second person who then squeezes the other hand of the first person. The last person will say "now" when she feels the hand squeeze come back to her.Record that data in the table below. Now add two more students to the circle and repeat the process, p Read More

Descriptive Statistics Introduction

Introduction to Descriptive Statistics Statistics are all around us. In fact it would be difficult to go through a full week without using statistics. Imagine watching a football game where no one kept score. The action itself might provide enough excitement to hold your attention for a while, but think of all the drama that would be lost if winning and losing weren't at issue. Imagine going to the grocery store and trying to find the best buy on a box of doggie treats for your dog, Fluffy. Without statistics this task would come down to simple guess work. You could never know for sure if that worthless mutt were getting the best (cheapest) treats for your dollar. Without statistics we couldn't plan our budgets, pay our taxes, enjoy games to their fullest, evaluate classroom performance... Read More

Carlos hopes he’ll be chosen. What chance does he have? 2. Mr. El just bought a box of Girl Scout cookies. He told his class, “I’d like to eat this box of thin mints all by myself. It’s one of my most treasured annual traditions! But I could share the cookies with all of my dear students. It’s only fair that I give you a chance to help me eat them.

The Birthday Problem

 Votes:0
The Birthday Problem: A short lesson in probability. Last revised 8/24/05 Introduction Simulation Questions Formula A Note to the Teacher Send comments to George Reese Introduction with simulation Happy Birthday! There's a birthday in your class today! Or will there be two? How likely is it that two people in your class have the same birthday? Say your class has 28 students. There are a number of ways to approach this problem. The most common is to take a survey and see if it happens that two birthdays fall on the same day. But if it happens in the surveyed class, will it occur in another class with different students? The question of how likely it is for any given class is still unanswered. Another way is to survey more and more classes to get an idea of how often the match would occur. T Read More

Variance and Covariance

 Votes:0
How Much Money Do Baseball Players Really Make? It is commonly accepted today that most baseball players make millions of dollars and that most of them are not worth it. In fact, the average (mean) salary of a ballplayer in the majors leagues is $1.2 million dollars. Only given this fact, it is easy to see how the perception of the overpaid baseball player was created. However, it is often conveniently ignored that the median salary for major leaguers is only $410,000. Remember, that the median is the middle salary for baseball players. This means that 50% make more than $410,000, but 50% make less. That's still a lot of money but does not justify the perception that America has on major league salaries. So we are still stuck with the question if the salaries for the majority of baseball p Read More

World Series Problem

 Votes:0
How Many Games Does it Take to Win the World Series? In order to determine the champion of Major League Baseball in the U.S. and Canada, the winners from the National League and the American League play the "World Series." The Series consists of seven games. If a team wins four out of the seven games, they are the champions. Of course, all seven games are not played if a team has already won four. Thus, what we want you to find out is how many games do you expect to be played before a team wins four games and becomes the champion? Predicting how long a series will take is not easy. There are many factors that are involved: Where are they playing? Is anyone injured? What is the weather like? For the purpose of this problem, however, we will simplify these into one question...
