AP® Statistics - FREE Intro to Inference for Means Activity

AP Statistics

Unit 7: Inference for Quantitative Data: Means

This is a FREE resource you can use in your classroom. The file is a WORD document; making it easy to edit and use in your classroom.

I use this as an introduction to significant tests for means. I claim that the average distance a student can walk in a straight line, while blindfolded, is 40ft. We set up a spot in the hallway with tape, blindfold the students, and see how far they can walk the line before they step off.

This is a great way to introduce both confidence intervals and significance tests for means. Note that this is done after I introduce confidence intervals and significance tests for proportions, so students are familiar with the ideas of inference, but they have not done any inference relating to means.
