Texas Instruments: Simulation of Sampling Distributions

In this lesson, students use a dice simulation to investigate how random sampling affects the properties of the distribution of a sample proportion, and are introduced to the sampling distribution of the sample proportion.

Video reviews the central limit theorem and uses a simulation to illustrate sampling distributions and how they approach a normal distribution with larger sample sizes even if the original distribution was not normal. Also discusses the...

Video discusses the effect of sample size on the sampling distribution. Shows using a simulation how as sample size increases the sampling distribution becomes more normal and the standard deviation decreases. Also discusses the effect...

This activity covers random sampling and randomization for experiments.

Video reviews the central limit theorem and uses a simulation to illustrate sampling distributions and how they approach a normal distribution with larger sample sizes even if the original distribution was not normal.

In this video, a simulation is used to demonstrate the sampling distribution of sample proportions. [4:34]

This learning module discusses quantitative and qualitative data, the use of two-way tables in marginal and conditional distributions, how to display data, variation in data and samples, and how to critically evaluate statistical...

In this Stats lab, students will work with a set of playing cards and a calculator. They will compare empirical data and a theoretical distribution to determine if an everyday experiment fits a discrete distribution. They will compare a...

This set contains questions about simulation solutions to probability using a calculator and a random digit table. The student develops techniques for random allocation, random selection, and simulation of other types of probabilities.

A set of exercises where students must analyze statistcal data and methodology and answer questions about distributions, sampling, results, accuracy, frequency, experimental design, and ethical practices.
