Teaching guide

What students learn

Compare distributions and proportions from equal-sized random samples and describe how sample size affects the variation.

How to teach it

Draw several equal-sized random samples from one population, compare their proportions, then increase the sample size and watch the variation settle down.

Watch out for

Expecting each sample to match the population exactly, and confusing sampling variation with a real change in the population.
