The student will demonstrate and compare properties of the Central Limit Theorem.
Given:
= length of time (in days) that a cookie recipe lasted at the Olmstead Homestead.
(Assume that each of the different recipes makes the same quantity of cookies.)

Calculate the following:
Collect the data
Use a random number generator to randomly select 4 samples of size
from the given
population. Record your samples below. Then, for each sample, calculate the mean to the nearesttenth. Record them in the spaces provided. Record the sample means for the rest of the class.
Complete the table:
Sample 1
Sample 2
Sample 3
Sample 4
Sample means from other groups:
Means:
Calculate the following:
Again, use a random number generator to randomly select 4 samples from the population. This time, make the samples of size
. Record the samples below. As before, for each sample, calculate the mean to the nearest tenth. Record them in the spaces provided. Record the sample means for the rest of the class.
Sample 1
Sample 2
Sample 3
Sample 4
Sample means from other groups:
Means:
Calculate the following:
For the original population, construct a histogram. Make intervals with bar width = 1 day.
Sketch the graph using a ruler and pencil. Scale the axes.
Draw a smooth curve through the tops of the bars of the histogram. Use 1 – 2 complete
sentences to describe the general shape of the curve.
Repeat the procedure for n=5
For the sample of
averaged together, construct a histogram of the averages (your means together with the means of the other groups). Make
intervals with
. Sketch the graph using a ruler and pencil. Scale the axes.
Draw a smooth curve through the tops of the bars of the histogram. Use 1 – 2 complete
sentences to describe the general shape of the curve.
Repeat the procedure for n=10
For the sample of
averaged together, construct a histogram of the averages (your means together with the means of the other groups). Make
intervals with
. Sketch the graph using a ruler and pencil. Scale the axes.
Draw a smooth curve through the tops of the bars of the histogram. Use 1 – 2 complete
sentences to describe the general shape of the curve.
Discussion questions
Compare the three histograms you have made, the one for the population and the two for the
sample means. In three to five sentences, describe the similarities and differences.
State the theoretical (according to the CLT) distributions for the sample means.
:
~
:
~
Are the sample means for
and
“close” to the theoretical mean,
?
Explain why or why not.
Which of the two distributions of sample means has the smaller standard deviation? Why?
As n changed, why did the shape of the distribution of the data change? Use 1 – 2 complete
sentences to explain what happened.

The lymphatic system plays several crucial roles in the human body, functioning as a key component of the immune system and contributing to the maintenance of fluid balance. Its main functions include:
1. Immune Response: The lymphatic system produces and transports lymphocytes, which are a type of
asegid
to transport fluids fats proteins and lymphocytes to the blood stream as lymph
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems

how does the stomach protect itself from the damaging effects of HCl
the normal temperature is 37°c or 98.6 °Fahrenheit is important for maintaining the homeostasis in the body
the body regular this temperature through the process called thermoregulation which involves brain skin muscle and other organ working together to maintain stable internal temperature
