This weekend you should complete your "Methods of Data Collection" take home test (provided in class today or below)!
- Get this done! If you turn this in on Monday you will receive +3 extra credit points on the test!
- It might be annoying/inconvenient to look at the images below for the take home test--if you'd like the word document just send me an email and I'll reply with the attachment (carofano.fm@easthartford.org).
- This is a great way to start studying this weekend (for Tuesday's test)--get this done, then do more studying Monday night!
On Monday in class we will do some more work with bias--we'll start with a warmup dealing with experimental design (for a lil' review), then we'll work through some free response questions dealing with bias (and look at the rubrics).
Then on Tuesday it's our Methods of Data Collection test! I'll be here after school if you'd like to come by with questions (or to do some practice/review)!
Here's a general outline of what will be on Tuesday's test:
- Vocabulary matching section (14 terms--use your chapter 12 and 13 quizzes to review)
- AP Multiple Choice (9 questions)
- AP Free Response (3 questions/contexts with 7 total parts)
- Some test topics:
- Be sure you know how to write a procedure for a simple random sample, cluster sample, and stratified sample!!
- Look over the 2011 "apartments" free response we had for homework!
- Be able to identify flaws in a sampling method (describing bias)
- Know how to design/critique an experimental design
- Don't forget about blocking!
- Identify factors, levels, treatments, response variable
- Determine what method of data collection was used in a study (simulation, survey, experiment, observational study) and explain why
- Identify a sampling method given a context
- Identify the "most noticeable bias" for a given context
- Identify a population that we can generalize to from a sample
- Identify a sample, population, sampling frame for a given context
And here is the take home test (or email me for the word document: carofano.fm@easthartford.org):
