Lessons for 7.SP.A.2
Random samplingEvery member equally likely, so the sample looks like the population.Lesson
Sampling distributionsTake many samples, compute the statistic each time, look at how it varies.Lesson
Sampling variability and simulating itDifferent samples from the same population give different statistics, and that spread is predictable.Lesson
Simple random samples and the sampling frameA sample drawn so that every group of the chosen size is equally likely.Lesson
Simulating a sampling distribution and a margin of errorDrawing many samples by chance and collecting their statistics to see the pattern they make.Lesson
