AMP-IT-UP 7th Grade Manufacturing Quality Control Challenge

 

Module Summary: AMP-IT-UP - Perfecting Your Craft

Students use inference and measures of center and variability to investigate the error rate of random samples of hex nuts to determine if a manufacturing production line has exceeded the allowable error and needs to be repaired.  In the process, they learn how sample size affects results.
