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 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 project, students will find a real poll and analyze it for the credibility of its methods. Give the students a few days to find their poll, then a couple of days to analyze it.
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 practice quiz, students will explain why random sampling works, what confidence intervals mean, and practice constructing confidence intervals. This should take 40–50 minutes to complete.
In this quiz, students will be tested on their understanding of response bias, including several sources of it, as well as several remedies for it, such as survey list experiments, latent variable items, and anonymous and disguised response items. This should take 30–40 minutes to complete.
In this worksheet, students will calculate overall p-hats and x-bars from stratified samples. This worksheet optionally contains the formula for the variance and standard deviation of stratified samples. This should take 20–30 minutes.
In this worksheet, students will calculate confidence intervals for proportions and for means. This should take 50–60 minutes.
