Active Statistics

Chemistry

Experiment #1: Density and Dimensional Analysis. In this lab students use descriptive statistics and laboratory measurements to explore predictions under uncertainty.
Experiment #5: The Chemical Formula of Magnesium Oxide. In this lab students use linear regression in Excel to explore the chemical formula for Magnesium Oxide.
Experiment #8: Extraction of Limonene. In this lab students determine if the amount of limonene extracted from various fruits is statistically different.
Experiment #10: Solutions and Dilutions. In this lab student will compare the accuracy and precision of two chloride testing methods.
