Abstract: 

The focus of this paper is our examination of students' graphical understanding of the CLT and related concepts as presented at the Joint Statistics Meeting in August, 2005. For a more detailed analysis that includes students' numerical understanding, results from the second course of two-semester post-calculus sequence, and comparison to results from previous studies, please see our paper and website (Lunsford, Rowell, Goodson-Espy 2005).
