| Tuesday 2 March | Review of the normal distribution with quantitative data via warmup. Combining normal random variables, and the distribution of the sample mean when the population is normal. The distribution of the sample mean when the population is not normal - The Central Limit Theorem - via experiment/exploration. |

| Thursday 4 March | Warmup. Confidence Interval for the mean - using the normal distribution. What to do when the distribution is not normal and we don't know the population standard deviation? The t-distribution. Properties of the t-distribution and degrees of freedom. Using the t-distribution table to find critical values. Creating a confidence interval. |
