Monday HW

Tonight please complete the "Exploring Sampling Distributions" worksheet that we started in class this past Thursday (or below).

• Questions 1-4 are a recap of how we create a sampling distribution and how we describe each sampling distribution (shape, center, spread)
• All of this information (for 1-4) is in your notes!
• Questions 5-7 (on the back ) are where we'll have to do some more thinking....
• These questions ask us to think about the possible shapes of other sampling distributions
• For example, #5 asks for the shape of the sampling distribution of maxima...
• Imagine we take a sample, find the max, and plot it. Then we repeat.
• If we repeatedly take a sample, find the maximum, then plot it, what shape would this create? 
• Still stuck? Where do you expect most of the maxima to fall? On the left? right? center? What shape does this lead to?
• Still stuck? Google it! 

Tomorrow in class we'll start to look at how the Normal model applies to the sampling distributions--all math (and conditions) tomorrow and Wednesday! Be sure to have your slides!Then we have our chapter 18 vocab quiz on Thursday--see you there!
