Big Ideas
- Random samples provide a way to make predictions and inferences about a larger population.
- Simulating repeated random sampling helps build understanding of what it means for a sample to be representative.
Essential Questions
- How can random samples help us make predictions about a population?
- What makes a sample representative of a population?
- Why might samples of the same size from the same population yield different results?
- How does simulating random samples increase our understanding of data and sampling?
- What are some limitations of using samples to represent populations?
