Serc: Reese's Pieces Activity: Sampling From a Population

Curated by ACT

Students use Reese's Pieces to investigate the proportion of orange candies present in a set of 25. After collecting data for the class, they use a web applet to collect more data for random samples. This is compared to the actual parameters. The web applet is then used to see how accurately a sample size can predict the parameters.
