Students study the characteristics of the F distribution and discuss why the distribution is not symmetric (skewed right) and only has positive values. Students then use the Fcdf command to find probabilities and to confirm percentiles. They move on to find critical values and then compute a confidence interval.

In this activity, students will explore percentiles and z-scores of normal distributions by graphing and calculating. After students are shown how to complete each part of the activity, they are given problems that they can do own their own.

In this activity, students will simulate a geometric distribution of rolling a die unitl a 6 appears. They will determine experimental probabilities and draw conclusions about the number of rolls it takes for the first 6 to appear. Students will then use the GeomPdf command to calculate the theoretical probabilities and use a scatter plot to draw conclusions. They will also calculate expected value.

Students use the Poisson distribution to determine the probabilities for various numbers of hurricanes hitting the United States in a given year. Students will also explore the graph of the Poisson distribution and how it behaves.

In this activity, students will estimate the true mean of a population when the standard deviation is known by finding the sample mean, margin of error and confidence interval. They will also use the "z Interval" command to confirm the intervals.
