    Module Four Lesson One Activity One

    1. Use the information given below to identify the population and the sample in each
    scenario.

    a. The Student Council at a local high school survey 200


    students at their high school to get their opinion about a
    change to the lunch schedule.
    Population - The total number of students at the high school. Sample - The 200
    students being surveyed.
    b. The quality control manager at a large ice cream
    manufacturer randomly selects 5 boxes of ice cream from
    the production line every hour to see whether the volume
    of the box is within acceptable limits.
    Population - All the boxes of ice cream being made.
    Sample - The 5 boxes of ice cream being selected from the
    production line every hour.
    c. A random sample of 1000 people that signed a pledge
    saying they would lose 10% of their body weight were
    contacted 1 year later. It turned out that 350 (35%) of the
    people sampled had lost at least 10% of their body weight
    over the last year.
    Population - All the people who intend to lose weight.
    Sample - The 1000 people who signed a pledge and were contacted a year later.

    2. In the third scenario, identify the parameter and the statistic. Parameter - The
    percent of the population that signed the pledge Statistic - The 35% of people who
    lost body weight.

    3. Use the information given below to determine if the study is an observational


    study or an experiment. Identify the explanatory variable and the response variable.
    a. An educator wants to compare the effectiveness of two
    different methods of teaching. She gives an AP Stats
    pretest to each of a group of high school students. She
    then randomly divides them into two groups. One group
    learns the topic through method 1, the other group learns
    the topic through the method
    At the end of the unit, she tests all the students again and compares the increase in
    test scores in the two groups.
    This is an experiment because a treatment is applied. The
    explanatory variables are the different methods of teaching and the response
    variable is the students' test scores.

    b. An educator wants to study the effects of class size on


    student performance. She collects data from all the
    elementary schools in her county. She randomly selects 2
    teachers from the third-grade level at each school and
    compares their class size to their proficiency (% of
    students that passed) on the End of Grade standardized
    tests.
    This is an observational study because there is no treatment being applied and the
    educator is observing the proficiency of the students. The explanatory variables are
    the different class sizes and the response variables are the different proficiencies.

    4. The school newspaper is planning an article on places to shop for the Holiday
    season. The editors intend to call 5 randomly chosen stores to ask about their
    Holiday hours and sales
    promotions. They have an alphabetized list of all 15 stores in the town. Use a
    random number table at line 110 to choose an SRS of 5 stores for the editor to call.
