Making the call Yr 11

Some activities to immerse students in ideas about sample, population, sampling variability and how to make a “claim” when comparing two groups

The session is broken into five parts.  The outlines give a reasonably thorough script for you to use.  We would recommend that you split these over five different sessions and allow about ½ an hour each to allow for more time to do and to discuss.
