Overview

The purpose of this lesson is to give students hands-on experience with creating and using sampling distributions. Once the concept is understood, the lesson asks them to use sampling distributions to evaluate a claim (based on informal reasoning, we don’t introduce p-value yet). The sampling distributions will be generated using a NetLogo model. After using the model as it was created, students are asked to modify the NetLogo model to generate a modified sampling distribution.
