KEYSTONE OAKS HIGH SCHOOL
LESSON PLANS
COURSE NAME: College Alg. & Statistics
TEACHER: Mr. Kevin Gallagher
DATE(S) BEING TAUGHT: April 28th-May 7th
UNIT: Estimation
EXPECTED STUDENT GOALS:
 Explain the meaning of confidence level, estimation error, and critical values. Find the
critical value corresponding to a confidence level and compute & interpret confidence
intervals for the population when the population mean is known. Compute the sample
size for estimating the population mean.
 Compute degrees of freedom and use them along with confidence levels to find critical
values and compute intervals for the population mean when the population mean is
unknown.
 Compute the margin of error for proportions using confidence levels. Compute
confidence intervals for p and interpret the results. Compute the sample size needed to
estimate p with or without an estimate for p.
CRITICAL INPUT EXPERIENCES:
 √ Students reading a specific section of a textbook
 √
Students watching a video
 √
Students listening to a lecture
 √
Students watching a demonstration
 √
