Details

A five minute film demonstrating the statistical concept of sampling & standard error through dance.

Often we want to know something about a large group (a population) but we can’t collect information from the whole group. So we collect it from a smaller representative group (a sample).

We use what we observe in the sample to estimate what is going on in the population.
