Direct linkJones, Ryan Seth; Jia, Zhigang; Bezaire, Joel – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
Too often, statistical inference and probability are treated in schools like they are unrelated. In this paper, we describe how we supported students to learn about the role of probability in making inferences with variable data by building models of real world events and using them to simulate repeated samples.

Peer reviewedBonsangue, Martin V. – Mathematics Teacher, 1992
Describes the model for decision making used in inferential statistics and real-world applications that parallel the statistical model. Discusses two activities that ask students to write about a personal decision-making experience and create a mock trial in which the class makes the decision of guilt or innocence. (MDH)
