Sampling Distribution Homework!

Tonight, please use the applets we explored in class to answer each of the 7 questions on the worksheet provided in class. If you lost the questions, they're right here! (And the links for the applets are below as well!)

Exploring Sampling Distributions

1.       Describe/outline the process shown in the applets to define a sampling distribution for sample proportions.  WRITE YOUR ANSWER USING COMPLETE SENTENCES. (2 points)

2.       After exploring the sampling distribution for proportions, define the model—shape, mean and standard deviation. WRITE YOUR ANSWER USING A COMPLETE SENTENCE. (1 point)

3.       Describe/outline the process shown in the applets to define a sampling distribution for sample means. WRITE YOUR ANSWER USING COMPLETE SENTENCES. (2 points)

4.       After exploring the sampling distribution for means, define the model—shape, mean and standard deviation. WRITE YOUR ANSWER USING A COMPLETE SENTENCE. (1 point)

5.       Discuss with your group: what would the sampling distribution for maxima look like? Sketch a distribution and describe the shape (in words). (1 point)

6.       Discuss with your group: what would the sampling distribution for medians look like? Sketch a distribution and describe the shape (in words). (1 point)

7.       Discuss with your group: what would the sampling distribution for minima look like? Sketch a distribution and describe the shape (in words). (1 point)
