Use+Random+Sampling

= 7-SP2 = =Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions.=

Examples:
 * Estimate the mean word length in a book by randomly sampling words from the book
 * Predict the winner of a school election based on randomly sampled survey data
 * Gauge how far off the estimate or prediction might be.

Drawing inferences from samples seems pretty intuitive, but gauging how far off the estimate might be is more difficult. This objective is new to 7th grade, moving down from 8th grade and Algebra I.
