Using Data

Memories of the Challenger disaster that occurred on 28 January 1986 are still vivid in the minds of many high school students. Thus, using data relating to this event can promote student involvement. This article introduces students to statistics by illustrating its vital role in decision making. Students at various grade levels with varying backgrounds will find this activity motivating and stimulating. Little or no background is necessary to appreciate this application of statistics involving exponential functions, mathematical modeling, probability, and curve sketching.
