Description: Description: This script demonstrates the parallels between the population mean and standard deviation and the sample statistic mean and standard error.
Instructions: Simply open and run this script. The first time you run the script, use the default settings. (The sample size is used each time a sample is taken. The number of samples is used if you want to grab a bunch at once.) Click OK. On the right side, click One at a Time twice. (You need at least two samples to do much of any thing with the distribution of the sample statistics.) Keep clicking this button to add another sample.
You can can also grab a bunch of samples at once. In this case, click the All at Once button.
Note that a message in the script is commented out that you can select if you want to dump the current sample statistics out to a data table for further inspection.
