About this resource
This quiz focuses on sampling methods and sources of bias in statistical studies, covering essential concepts for introductory statistics at the high school level, specifically grades 10-12. Students need to understand the fundamental distinction between populations and samples, recognize different types of sampling bias (including convenience sampling, voluntary response bias, undercoverage, nonresponse bias, and response bias), and identify various sampling methods such as simple random sampling, systematic sampling, and cluster sampling. The questions assess students' ability to differentiate between census and survey procedures, evaluate real-world scenarios to identify potential sources of bias, and understand why random selection is crucial for obtaining representative samples. Students must also demonstrate knowledge of proper random selection techniques and be able to analyze sampling situations to determine which methods would produce the most reliable and unbiased results. Created by Kealey Sitler, a Mathematics teacher in the US who teaches grades 10 and 12. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for introducing students to the foundational concepts of statistical sampling and bias recognition that are essential for any statistical analysis. Teachers can use this assessment as a formative evaluation after covering sampling methods in class, as a review activity before a unit test, or as homework to reinforce key vocabulary and concepts. The quiz works particularly well as a warm-up activity to gauge student understanding before moving into more complex statistical inference topics, and it can be used for targeted practice when students struggle with identifying different types of bias in real-world scenarios. This content directly supports Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, specifically HSS-IC.B.3 (recognize the purposes of and differences among sample surveys, experiments, and observational studies) and HSS-IC.B.4 (use data from a sample survey to estimate a population mean or proportion).
