Examining Samples
Each worksheet has 3 problems examining the information in a sample set.
Student Objectives
- Decide whether a sample is likely to represent a whole population fairly.
- Spot sources of bias in how data is collected, like who was asked or how people were chosen.
- Explain why random sampling usually gives more reliable information than picking people conveniently.
- Use information from a sample to make a reasonable guess about what might be true for the full population.
