Conclusions
(s) Write a paragraph summarizing your analyses. Your summary should include:
- How you are arriving at your decision about whether there appears to be something to the theory that students at your school choose scissors less than 1/3 of the time (explain the reasoning to someone not in this class).
- Whether the Central Limit Theorem was applicable in this study.
- The effect of sample size on your conclusions.
- Was this sample randomly selected from the population of students at your school? Explain. Do you have concerns that the sample is not likely to be representative of students at your school on this topic? Explain
