Selecting sampling methods
Develop scenarios relating to gathering information that require students to make decisions about how to select a sample.
Use the School Survey Task: Student Worksheet to stimulate discussions about the differences among:
- simple random sampling strategies
- stratified sampling strategies
- samples of convenience.
Use the School Survey Task: Rubric to determine students' level of understanding demonstrated in their responses to the questions.
