In this quiz, students will be assessed on their understanding of types of spurious correlations, such as Simpson’s paradox, Berkson’s fallacy, survivor bias, selection bias, regression to the mean, within group/between group differences, and variability bias. This should take 40 minutes to complete.
In this quiz, students will be assessed on their understanding of what an observational study is, its limitations, and what the concept of correlation means. This should take 30–40 minutes.
In this activity, students look at one of my favorite examples of Simpson’s paradox: how people get to the hospital is correlated with their survival rate. This should take 40 minutes to complete.
In this quiz, students will be assessed on their understanding of what an observational study is, its limitations, and what the concept of correlation means. This should take 30–40 minutes.
In this worksheet, students will plot a scatterplot, describe it, fit a line, calculate residuals, and find r-squared using standard deviations. This should take 30–60 minutes. Calculator optional.
In this quiz, students will calculate a risk ratio, an odds ratio, a quadrant count ratio, and an r-squared value from standard deviations. The quiz should take students about 30–60 minutes. Calculator optional.
In this demonstration, students can play around with a regression line to see its residuals change. GeoGebra will automatically show the calculation of r-squared. This should take 10–15 minutes.
