Statistics foundations packet
Start with center and quartiles, calculate spread, then compare positions with z-scores.
Edit this packet →Read the data. Explain the result.
Start with summaries and relationships, then use probability models to estimate parameters and evaluate evidence. Choose a focused worksheet or prepare a sequence through Bayesian updating, tests, intervals and regression.
32 printable resources, from reference sheets to configurable practice with worked answers.
Choose a worksheetBegin with averages, fractions, square roots and coordinate graphs. Use secure algebra before rearranging a z-score or fitting a regression line. For college inference, review probability models, functions and basic calculus. These are readiness suggestions; course order varies by school.
The convention changes the denominator
Mean 4; squared deviations total 8. Population variance is 8/3; sample variance is 8/2 = 4.
Divide by 3 if these are all the observations in the population. Divide by 2 when estimating population variance from this sample. Standard deviation is the square root of the corresponding variance.

Keep the observations and units visible. Compare a mean with a median, then use quartiles and box plots to describe spread without assuming a normal model.

Mean, median, mode & range
Print a reference that explains mean, median, mode and range with worked examples. Compare odd and even datasets, negative values, tied modes and data with no mode.

Decide whether the observations are the whole population or a sample. Show squared deviations, choose n or n - 1, then take the square root to restore the original units.

Statistics
Calculate population and sample spread from small data sets with explicit n and n - 1 denominators, units, and final rounding.
Preview and downloadStep 3
A z-score describes distance from the mean in standard-deviation units. Converting that score to a normal probability requires an explicitly stated normal model.

Statistics
Calculate z-scores, recover original values, and compare relative positions across data sets with positive standard deviations.

Inspect the plot before describing a linear association. Fit a least-squares line, compare observed and predicted values, and explain why a trend alone does not establish a cause.

Statistics
Construct and read labeled scatterplots from actual paired observations, calculate Pearson r, and interpret linear association without claiming causation.

Preview and downloadA small standard deviation describes concentration around a mean; it does not show that data are normally distributed. A correlation describes linear association; it does not establish cause and effect. Predictions outside the observed range need extra caution.
Choose a method whose assumptions fit the observations. Confidence intervals concern a repeated-sampling procedure; credible intervals describe posterior probability under a stated prior and likelihood.
