For the summative activity in this unit, you need to sample 60
people from a chosen population.
PLEASE NFAKE THE INFORMATION FOR THE SURVEY AND COME UP
WITH NUMBERS/QUESTIONS
1. Start by outlining the population that you will be able to
access (Examples: your school, employees at your work, people
at a place that you attend for leisure, etc.) and identify the
variables that you want to study, to be asked in a survey.
Consider what you are going to ask people so that you can
separate the sample into two groups to compare graphs. Note:
You will not use scatterplots until next unit.
Be sure to consider ethics and professionalism when choosing
variables to study (ie. make sure your variables are
appropriate).
Example idea: You are wondering if there may be a
relationship between the time someone takes to brush their teeth
and whether or not they listen to music while brushing their teeth.
2. Outline how you would sample the population. Consider 4
different ways to sample the population. You may combine several
sampling techniques. Explain exactly how you would collect each
sample. Compare all 4 methods and discuss the advantages and
disadvantages of each with regard to validity (minimize bias) and
efficiency (How long it will take? How hard it will be to carry out
the sample?).
3. You are asked to survey 60 people from a chosen sample and
ask 2 questions. The questions need to be generated so
that they minimize measurement bias and record the true beliefs of
your sample. Write the two questions using a survey tool like
Google Forms or SurveyMonkey.
For the example: You are wondering if there may be a
relationship between the time someone takes to brush their teeth
and whether or not they listen to music while brushing their teeth.
The questions would measure the time it takes someone to brush
and whether or not they listen to music while brushing.
Notice, for the first question, we expect students to not know
exactly, and are asking for a rough estimate. This will
give us the data we need to compare groups.
For the second question, a rating scale similar to a Likert
scale is used. When analyzing the data, this allows us to
look at students in different groups. For example: For
those saying 1 or 2, what did they respond for time brushing?
For those saying 4 or 5, what did they respond for time
brushing?
4. Survey the sample of the population (collect primary data)
using the online survey you created and the best sampling technique
you outlined.
You will divide your survey results using the responses to the
one question. You will then create the graphs of the data of
the two groups and discuss your conclusions from the graphs.
For example, whether or not people listen to music while
brushing their teeth will create two groups, so you can analyze the
difference in time spent brushing.
5. State the conclusions from the graphs and justify how you
arrived at your conclusions by referring to the graphs.
Reflect on the bias that was present in your study based on what
you have learned in this unit and the impact the bias may have
had on your conclusions.
Reflect on the validity and reliability of your study by
referring to the definitions learned in this unit.
6. In Activity 1, you were asked to find an article that states
findings in a study. You were also asked what questions need
to be asked to determine if the findings are reliable and valid.
In Activity 3, you were asked to reflect on the misuses of
data and give examples of how biased samples and surveys affect
conclusions and how people can manipulate the display of data to
change conclusions.
7. Compile the work you have done on your study into a report
using word processing or spreadsheet software. Include all
parts from this activity. Be sure
to self-assess your report before submitting.
Here are some report templates that you can use to get
started. Take some time to improve the presentation of the
report before submitting.
