probability models for variation
Elaboration
  • binomial distribution:
    • When is it appropriate?
    • What does it model?
    • What assumptions can be made?
    • Shape of distribution affected by n and p.
  • normal (Gaussian) distribution:
    • when it is useful
    • roles of the mean and standard deviation, 68-95-99.7 rule
  • central limit theorem: describing the variation of a sample mean
  • use of simulation software to explore sampling distributions
