Interactive practice questions

There are no interactive problems for this subtopic

Outcomes

ACMMM173

use graphical displays of simulated data to investigate the variability of random samples from various types of distributions, including uniform, normal and Bernoulli

ACMMM176

simulate repeated random sampling, for a variety of values of p and a range of sample sizes, to illustrate the distribution of ˆp and the approximate standard normality of (ˆp−p)/(sqrt(ˆp(1−ˆp)/n) where the closeness of the approximation depends on both n and p

ACMMM180

use simulation to illustrate variations in confidence intervals between samples and to show that most but not all confidence intervals contain p
