For Mar 27...keep working to catch up :)

Here's what to aim to complete in OLI by Thurs, :

Screens 179-187
Unit 4, Module 11: Estimation
Interval Estimation -- confidence interval for the population mean

In class on Thurs, we will
  • talk about stats we've noticed in the big wide world
  • review concepts related to sampling distributions
  • investigate the sample distribution for each of the colors in our m&m data

For Mar 20

Here's what to aim to complete in OLI by Thurs, :

Screens 175-178
Unit 4, Module 11: Estimation
Point Estimation

In class on Thurs, we will
  • talk about stats we've noticed in the big wide world
  • finish reviewing concepts related to the Normal distribution
  • study our m&m data to see if any of the variables might be Normally distributed, and then consider what we can do to confirm this. 
  • If Normal, we will standardize a few values.
