Create guided notes, a collaborative group activity for no more than three students, an exit task, and an independent practice using the attached resource regarding the following learning objective: Students will be able to explain why sampling is used instead of a census in most studies in order to justify practical approaches to data collection by discussing limitations and advantages of sampling versus full population data collection. The following is a summary of a document named a7b4f949-3...
This resource focuses on the comparison between sampling and census as methods of data collection. It explores the definitions of key terms such as population, sample, parameter, and statistic, and outlines the advantages and limitations of both methods. Through guided notes, real-world case studies, and collaborative activities, students will understand the practical implications of choosing between a census and sampling. The document emphasizes that while a census aims to collect data from the entire population to ensure accuracy, it can be resource-intensive and impractical, whereas sampling offers a more cost-effective and efficient means of gathering data, albeit with potential for sampling error. The resource also includes strategies for group discussions and reflection on the decision-making process in statistical research.
