AP Statistics at Buckingham Browne and Nichols School
A site used to teach an AP Statistics course. It includes a course outline, assignments and answers, data for homework, worksheets, tests, projects, papers and Internet resources.
#1-9
9-12: 10

Buffon's Needle- George Reese
Involves dropping a needle on a lined sheet of paper and determining the probability of the needle crossing one of the lines on the page. The result is that the probability is directly related to the value of pi.
#2, #3
9-12: 10, 11

The Cereal Box Problem - George Reese
A lesson in expected value with an online simulation.
#1
9-12: 10

Finding the Mean using Hands-on Activities - Teresa Wasinger
Students find the averages of numbers using cubes.
#6
9-12: 10

The Monty Hall Problem
Drawing poker hand and matching correlation coefficients to scatter plots.
#8
5-8: 10, 11
9-12: 10, 11

Snowfall Statistics for Snowboarding - Sue (Weiss) Green
The task is to find the best place to go snowboarding, track using triple line graphs and bar graphs the daily amount of snow fall at the three ski resorts for twelve days.
#8
9-12: 10

Statistical Analysis - Anne McCall and Imran Mohamed
Students will analyze paired data by finding means, variances, standard deviations, and covariance. Then use the statistical measures to find the best fitting line for the set of data and the correlation coefficient of the two variable.
