Unit 4: Collecting Data

Complete Unit Bundle that teaches about observational studies, sample surveys, sampling, experiments, ethics, and more!

Welcome! This is the complete unit plan for the fourth unit in my regular-level Statistics class.

When you purchase this product, you get the following:

• 5 complete sets of student-guided notes (answer keys included)
• 5 homework problem sets + complete test review (answer keys included)
• 2 assessments – quiz and test (answer keys included)
• 2 in-class review PowerPoint presentations
• 3 activities

******************************************************************************

The student-friendly learning targets for this unit are:

• Students will be able to identify between an observational study and an experiment.
• Students will be able to identify the type of sampling method (simple random sample, stratified, cluster, systematic, multistage, and convenience), given a description of a study.
• Students will be able to construct a simple random sample using technology and a table of random digits.
• Students will be able to identify sources of bias in a sampling method.
• Students will be able to identify the components of a well-designed experiment.
• Students will identify and compare experimental designs.
• Students will be able to understand the ethical concerns surrounding experimental procedures.

The Common Core Math Standards covered in this unit are:

• IC.A.1: Understand statistics as a process for making inferences about population parameters based on a random sample from that population.
• IC.B.3: Recognize the purposes of and differences among sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies; explain how randomization relates to each.
