Sharing assignments in OpenClass
OpenClass is on a mission to improve & democratize education. Through our platform, educators can share assignments privately or with our entire community to improve accessibility of the best learning resources around the world.
Our assignments guide students through research-backed study sessions to reinforce learning. If this review is relevant to your teachings, feel free to add it to one of your classes!
Our format is simple and engaging: students are asked a retrieval question, then shown corrective feedback and a multiple-choice mastery question to assess their understanding of the material. Assignments adapt to unique student needs and continue to draw questions until a student has demonstrated mastery.
Describe a scenario where you might encounter a bimodal distribution. Explain why the distribution would be bimodal in this context.
Explain what a symmetric distribution looks like and provide an example of a real-world scenario where you might encounter one.
What does it mean for a distribution to be skewed, and how can you tell if it is skewed to the left or right?
Describe a uniform distribution and provide an example of a situation where you might encounter one.
What is a bell-shaped distribution, and why is it important in statistics?
Consider the following histogram:
Describe the shape of the distribution and suggest a possible context for this data.
Consider the following dot plot:
Describe the shape of the distribution and suggest a possible context for this data.

Explain what a symmetric distribution looks like and provide an example of a real-world scenario where you might encounter one.
(Student response here)
A symmetric distribution has a vertical line of symmetry in the center, meaning the left side is a mirror image of the right side. An example of a symmetric distribution is the distribution of heights of adult men in a large population, where most men are of average height, and fewer men are very short or very tall, creating a symmetric, bell-shaped curve.
Which of the following best describes a symmetric distribution?
One side has more values farther from the bulk of the data than the other side.
The left side is a mirror image of the right side.
There are two distinct peaks in the data.
The data values are evenly distributed throughout the range.
