Compare different random sampling types using an archaeological setting. Scholars collect data from an archaeological plot using simple random samples, stratified random samples, systematic random samples, and cluster random samples....

How random is random? Demonstrate the different random sampling methods using a hands-on activity. Pupils use various sampling techniques to choose a random sample of elements from the periodic table. They use the different samples to...

Students consider the advantages and disadvantages of various sampling techniques. They define a simple random sample and identify possible sources of bias in other types of samples. Answer Key included.

Seventh grade statisticians randomly select five states and then determine the mean area. The class then works together to create a dot plot of their results. 

Young scholars explore the concept of sampling techniques. In this sampling techniques lesson, students identify possible sources of bias in situations such as phone polls, supermarket surveys, and drawing names from a phone book. Young...

In this surveys and samples worksheet, students discover data collection techniques and write their own survey questions. Students use random sampling, convenience sampling, and systemic sampling and analyze their results.

In this statistics and probability worksheet, students solve problems that involve various sampling methods and procedures.  A calculator that generates random digits is required.  The five page worksheet contains eight...

Students practice formulating a hypothesis and designing an experiment to test the hypothesis. They identify several sampling techniques they can use to test their hypotheses.

Students investigate qualitative and quantitative data. In this statistics lesson, students gather data on heights and weights of people and graph the distribution. Students discuss the differences between qualitative and quantitative data.

In this probability instructional activity, 11th graders solve problems using simple random sample, cluster sample, bias, population and systematic sample. They match the questions to its definition.

What is the probability that two randomly seated people will be across from each other at a square table? Check learners' understanding of theoretical probability and compound events with this short assessment. A great opportunity to...

Third graders are introduced to statistical vocabulary. They complete an online activity that asks them to calculate the mean, median and mode for a set of data.

Students collect survey data on the prevalence of asthma in a community. They summarize and display the survey data in ways that show meaning.

Learners make origami frogs to race. After the race they measure the distance raced, collect the data, enter it into a chart. They then find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Next, students enter this data into Excel at which time...

Studnents examine the degree of biodiversity that exists in one's everyday environment, in order to develop an understanding of how scientists classify organisms and to explain why biodiversity is important for living things.

Students explore possible outcomes. In this math lesson, students list the possible pizza combinations they could offer on the menu of their new pizza shop. Students

This site contains explanations and examples of the different kinds of data sampling.

This lesson will define the term unbiased sample, and present the different types of unbiased sampling methods (e.g. simple random sample, stratified random sample, systematic random sample). It is 1 of 4 in the series titled "Unbiased...

This site gives a description of a sample (of a population). The page offers information on various types of sampling. There are links to related terms, everyday examples, more information, and the interactive check point involving...

This set contains statistics questions regarding surveys and survey designs. The student differentiates between a systematic sample, a convenience sample, a simple random sample (SRS), and a stratified random sample.
