6. Question: Using the population text message data on four students, how can we determine which of the four students does the most text messaging? Statistical Question: ?

7. What happens to the shape of the sampling distributions as the size of the sample varies? How do the population distributions compare to each other? How do the sampling distributions compare to each other? How is the shape of the sampling distribution related to the shape of the population from which the samples were drawn? What are the means of the sampling distributions? How would you describe the spread of the sampling distributions? How can you use this information to make a decision about which student texted more?

8. What level of the GAISE Framework do you think this activity is? Why? What extensions might you add to further build your students understanding of sampling variability?

9. Work individually on the Mira Beach Continued Task. Keep in mind that your work will be scored and returned to you. So, please write out complete answers. In other words, answer the questions in the manner that you would hope your students would. Be prepared to share your answers with the rest of the class.
