Probability & Statistics Resources

As many of you know, this year we have seen an influx of probability and statistics problems. As the end of the school year approaches, we’re likely to see a reprisal of these concepts as students prepare for final exams.

To ensure everyone is prepared to handle these sessions, we have compiled a document of statistics and probability solutions taken from actual student questions, including binomial/multinomial distribution, hypothesis testing, probability of a sample mean, margin of error, confidence intervals and linear regression.

Probability & Statistics Solutions

We have also sourced some helpful Khan Academy lessons on these concepts:

Statistics & Probability: Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data

Statistics & Probability: Making Inferences and Justifying Conclusions

Statistics & Probability: Conditional Probability & the Rules of Probability

Statistics & Probability: Using Probability to Make Decisions

We expect you to use these resources wisely and ensure you are prepared to teach these concepts if need be.

Let us know what questions you have!

Quick Reminders for Teaching

L’Hopital, Attention to Detail & Student Uncertainty:

– Please be aware that we do cover L’Hopital’s Rule, as it is included in the AP Calculus AB curriculum:

 

– Please ensure you are carefully checking students’ work and reading through any given directions in their entirety. Unfortunately, we’ve recently noticed student errors going uncorrected and tutors failing to follow given instructions.

– When a student responds to a check for understanding with uncertainty or a lack of confidence, (for example, responses like “Kind of” or “A little bit”, when asked if something makes sense), please do not continue with the solution.  Instead, it is imperative at this point that you take a moment to ensure you and the student are on the same page before moving on.

Happy tutoring!
