Khan Academy: Making Inferences From Random Samples
Given a random sample, practice figuring out what can we reasonably infer about the entire population? Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Serc: Reese's Pieces Activity: Sampling From a Population
Students use Reese's Pieces to investigate the proportion of orange candies present in a set of 25. After collecting data for the class, they use a web applet to collect more data for random samples. This is compared to the actual...

Illustrative Mathematics: S Ic Why Randomize?
The exercise demonstrates that judgment (non-random) samples tend to be biased in the sense that they produce samples that are not balanced with respect to the population characteristics of interest. Students will estimate the mean...
