Study Notes
Benchmark Assessment: Priority Standards
- South Carolina College and Career Readiness Mathematical Standards are used to base the assessment.
- PS.SPMJ.1: Statistics and sampling distributions are used to infer population parameters from random samples.
- PS.SPMJ.3: Conducting surveys to answer statistical questions, acknowledging sampling techniques, randomization, measurement of experimental error, and bias reduction methods.
- PS.SPID.1: Displays (dot plots, histograms, box plots) are appropriate for real number data.
- PS.SPID.2: Summarising data using center and spread characteristics (shape) when comparing two or more datasets. Interpreting differences is important.
- PS.SPID.3: Summarizing single datasets and interpreting differences in shape, center, and spread, acknowledging outliers.
- PS.SPID.7: Creating linear models (median fit, regression methods) for prediction, interpreting slope and intercept in context.
- PS.SPCR.2: Calculating probabilities. Independent events have probabilities that multiply.
Parking at a Large University
- Parking Problem: University administrators are concerned about average parking time for students.
- Population of Interest: The parking times of all students who park at the university.
- Sample of Interest: The parking times of the 120 (or 180) students observed by the administrator.
- Sampling Technique: The administrator inconspicuously followed students and recorded their parking times.
Categorical vs. Quantitative Data
- Categorical Data (Qualitative): Describes categories or qualities (e.g., native languages of students).
- Quantitative Data (Numerical): Represents numerical values (e.g., number of calls received at a help desk, weights of wrestling team players).
- Continuous data: Can take any value within a range (e.g., weight of a person).
- Discrete data: Can only take specific values (e.g., number of goals in a hockey game, the day of the month).
Types of Studies
- Observational Study: Researchers observe and measure characteristics without influencing the study subjects (e.g., comparing crop yield with and without fertilizer).
- Experiment: Researchers manipulate one or more variables and observe the effect (e.g., testing the effectiveness of a new fertilizer on crop yield).
Sampling Techniques
- Simple Random Sampling: Every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected.
- Stratified Sampling: Dividing the population into subgroups (strata) and randomly selecting members from each stratum.
- Cluster Sampling: Dividing the population into clusters and randomly selecting clusters for sampling.
- Convenience Sampling: Selecting easily accessible members of the population.
