Tonight, study, study, study! Tomorrow we will take our "Methods of Data Collection Exam" in class! Then it's time to get back to some math and start a new unit on Wednesday!

Also, remember that your Methods of Data Collection take home exam is due tomorrow!

  • See the blog post from Friday (below) for more details or if you need a copy
Here's an outline of tomorrow's test:
  • Part 1 = Matching Vocab (14 terms)
    • Be sure to know the definition of simulation (Friday's notes)
    • Otherwise, all vocab terms are on your chapter 12 and chapter 13 vocab quizzes!
    • Be sure to know....
      • Sampling Methods
      • Types of Bias
      • General definition of bias
      • Factors/Levels/Treatments/Response variable
      • Blinding
      • Methods of Data Collection (Friday's notes)
      • Sampling Variability (aka Sampling Error)
  • Part 2 = AP MC (9 questions)
  • Part 3 = AP FR (3 contexts, 7 total questions)
  • Some things to know....
    • Write a procedure for a cluster sample, stratified sample, or SRS
    • Know how to identify an appropriate variable to stratify (or block) by and explain why
    • Identify the "pieces" for an experiment (like today's stamp)
    • Identify a sampling method used for a given context
    • Identify the most noticeable type of bias for a given context
    • Identify sample, population for a context
    • Determine what method of data collection was used in a study (and explain your reasoning)
