Data Analysis and Probability

Description

What do mathematicians mean when they say that an event has a 50 percent probability of occurring? How does the study of statistics apply algebraic principles to real-world events and conditions in a meaningful way? Why are data analysis and probability so closely related, and what are the practical benefits of studying them together? This video answers these questions and addresses fundamental concepts such as the law of large numbers and the notion of regression analysis. Written and hosted by internationally acclaimed math educator Dr. Monica Neagoy, the program offers engaging explorations based on true stories and real data, utilizes various TI-Nspire applications, and models the seamless connection among various problem representations.
