| Sampling Distribution | Use a histogram activity to understand the concept of a sampling distribution. |
 |
 |
| Simulation of Sample Means | This activity uses the computer program Excel to simulate a large number of sample means from a uniform distribution. |
 |
|
| Investigating a Distribution of Sample Means | The goal of this activity is to use a graphics calculator investigate a distribution sample means from a collection of pocket change through a simulation. |
 |
|
| The Central Limit Theorem | Understand the Central Limit Theorem through example applications and by considering the special case of a finite population. |
 |
|
| Distributions of Sample Proportions | The goal of this activity is to use a graphics calculator to investigate the distributions of sample proportions through a simulation. |
 |
|
| Distributions of Sample Variances | This activity introduces the Chi-squared distribution. The goal is to use a graphics calculator to investigate the distributions of sample variances through simulations. |
