Test Tomorrow: Methods of Data Collection (Round 2)

**If you were absent today you MUST make up the Unit 3 Exam tomorrow! If you cannot do so during a study hall or after school you will have to complete the test in class (and miss our "new stuff")! Please send me an email or Remind message to set up a plan!**


Tonight, study, study, study! Tomorrow we will start class with 15 more minutes of our Unit 3 Exam:

  • Matching Vocab Section (14 terms to match to the given definitions)
    • You should take 9 or 10 minutes on this part (know your stuff!)
    • Here's some vocab to know:
      • 4 Methods of Data Collection (Simulation, Survey, Experiment, Observational Study--look at Friday's notes)
      • Sampling Methods (SRS, Stratified, Cluster, Systematic, Census, Voluntary Response, Convenience)
      • Bias and Types of Bias (general definition, know how to define each type)
      • Experimental Design Vocab (factor, levels, response variable, blinding, placebo, control, blocking, replication)
  • 3 (more) AP Multiple Choice (5-6 minutes)
    • Determine if a study is an experiment, blocked experiment, or observational study (like the "flowers" multiple choice from our recent stamp--the paper has 3 MC questions on it and was graded with an orange colored pencil)
    • Determine a sampling method for a given context
    • Determine the most noticeable type of bias for a given context (like Monday's stamp MC)
After tomorrow's test (15 minutes) we'll start chapter 18! And I CAN'T WAIT (click me)

If you'd like to get yourself prepared for our next unit it would be a good idea to review the Normal model (chapter 6)--68/95/99.7 rule, normalcdf and invnorm problems, and z-scores! See you there!
