Description
Sampling Distributions can be difficult for students. This activity gives practice on identifying the sampling distribution mean and standard deviation and applying them to the z-score equation to find a percent above or below a desired number.
Students will need to be able to find a mean and standard deviation of a sampling distribution for sample means and sample proportions. All these examples assume you know sigma (you are not finding the standard error). Then, students will need to use the mean and standard deviation to find probability/percent above and below a desired value, using the normal distribution. There is one problem where students need to check the normal condition for proportions (np).
This activity is a great way to get students up and around the room. They will be able to start at any of the 10 problems, their answer will direct them to the next question. This is also a great way for them to check their work ... If their answer is not on another card, then they know they need to check their work!
A worksheet version is attached for students who are absent.
