About this resource

This quiz comprehensively covers sampling methods and bias in statistics, making it ideal for Advanced Placement Statistics students in grades 11-12. The content focuses on the five primary sampling techniques: simple random sampling (SRS), systematic sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling, and convenience sampling. Students must demonstrate their ability to identify each method based on scenario descriptions, distinguish between populations and samples, and recognize various sources of bias including undercoverage, nonresponse, response bias, and voluntary response bias. The questions require students to apply statistical reasoning to real-world contexts, evaluate the quality of sampling methods, and understand how different sampling approaches can affect data collection and validity. Mastery of these concepts demands students recognize the systematic patterns that define each sampling method and critically analyze potential flaws in survey design. Created by Shelli Ryan, a Mathematics teacher in the US who teaches grades 10-12. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool for students preparing for the AP Statistics exam, particularly useful for reviewing Chapter 4 content on sampling and survey design. Teachers can deploy this as a warm-up activity to gauge student understanding before diving deeper into inferential statistics, assign it as homework to reinforce classroom instruction, or use it as targeted practice before unit tests. The variety of question formats—from straightforward identification to scenario-based analysis—makes it versatile for both individual practice and collaborative learning activities. This assessment aligns with AP Statistics Learning Objectives DAT-2.A through DAT-2.E, which focus on identifying bias in samples, explaining how samples are selected, and describing methods for selecting samples.
