Webercise (Statistic and Probability)

This document provides instructions for a Webercise activity on statistics. Students are asked to visit websites to define statistical terms like range, mode, and mean, and to find the statistical values for a sample data set. They are also instructed to watch a video on misleading graphs and answer questions about examining graphs carefully and reasons someone may want to create a misleading graph. Finally, students are asked to use an online dice roller and record their rolls to answer questions about probability.
