II. Sampling and Experimentation: Planning and conducting a study
A. Overview of methods of data collection
1. Census
2. Sample survey
3. Experiment
4. Observational study
B. Planning and conducting surveys
1. Characteristics of a well-designed and well-conducted survey
2. Populations, samples and random selection
3. Sources of bias in sampling and surveys
4. Sampling methods, including simple random sampling, stratified random sampling and cluster sampling
C. Planning and conducting experiments
1. Characteristics of a well-designed and well-conducted experiment
2. Treatments, control groups, experimental units, random assignments and replication
3. Sources of bias and confounding, including placebo effect and blinding
4. Completely randomized design
5. Randomized block design, including matched pairs design
D. Generalizability of results and types of conclusions that can be drawn from observational studies, experiments and surveys
Student Learning Targets:
Student Learning Targets:
- I will identify Population and Sample
- I will describe how to select Simple Random, Stratified Random, and Cluster Samples
- I will use Random Digits Table, Calculator, and Slips of Paper in Hat to select Samples
- I will explain why Voluntary Response and Convenience Samples are biased
- I will explain how undercoverage, nonresponse, and question wording can lead to bias
- I will explain the difference between an observational study and an experiment
- I will explain Confounding Variables
- I will identify experimental units, explanatory variables, treatments, and response variables in experiment
- I will explain Block Design and Matched Pairs Design
Essential Questions:
Essential Questions:
- How do we collect data in order to draw meaningful conclusions about a population or the effect of a treatment?
- How can we plan and conduct surveys that will give data representative of the population?
- How can we plan and conduct experiments that will allow us to make a fair comparison of different treatments?
- How do we select the appropriate method of data collection that will allow us to generalize our results to the greater population or to determine causation?
- How can data be collected to represent an unbiased sample of the population?
- How is probability used to simulate events and predict future happenings?
