What's Your Fav?

Title: "What's Your FAV?"

Authors: Kensell Batty

Grade level: 6th - 8th

Standards: 7.SP.1 Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.

7.SP.2 Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions. For example, estimate the mean word length in a book by randomly sampling words from the book; predict the winner of a school election based on randomly sampled survey data. Gauge how far off the estimate or prediction might be.

Short Description: The students are to think of a “FAV” subject so they can survey 100 people and collect that data using a frequency table.  Your survey must give the surveyor’s six choices to select from (e.g. What’s your favorite drink flavor? Cream Soda, Grape, Orange, Coke, Sprite, Strawberry).  Once the data is collected the students will construct a bar graph, line graph, histogram, and a line plot. Creativity and Neatness are mandatory.  (No notebook paper.
