Experimental Design(1)

In class we finished up the section on sampling and did an activity on sampling.  We differentiated between a sample distribution (distribution of 1 sample) and a sampling distribution (distribution of many samples).  This led us to a discussion on the Central Limit Theorem which will play an important role during the second half of the course.

CW - Sampling Distribution

Afterwards, students were introduced to experimental design.  Students should be familiar with the following vocabulary words: factor(s) - explanatory or "x" variable(s), levels and treatments. 

The notes are attached and the homework is listed below.
