Description
About the Activity: This activity is designed to introduce the different types of sampling methods utilizing a deck of cards to help students visualize each method.
Unbiased Methods Covered: Simple Random, Stratified, Cluster, Systematic
Biased Method Covered: Convenience
This activity uses a graphing calculator to calculate random integers, it does not use a random integer table. You can still use a table if you prefer, you’ll just need to ignore the calculator directions in the activity.
Each student/pair/group will need their own deck of cards. They will also need a graphing calculator to utilize the random integer generator OR a random integer table if you choose to use that instead.
Contents:
· Pg (3-8): Student copy of the assignment. Each sampling method has a brief description and then a guided example on how to obtain each sample utilizing a deck of cards.
· Pg (9-15): Answer Key. This key is more of a guideline since everyone will have a deck of cards that is shuffled differently.
