AP Statistics
WOODLAND HILLS HIGH SCHOOL
LESSON PLANS
Length of Lesson: 14 days
STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
Lesson Topic:
Big Ideas:
Understanding Goals (Concepts):
Chapter 5:
Producing Data – Samples &
Experiments
M11.E.1.1.1 Create and/or use appropriate
graphical representations of data, including boxand-whisker plots, stem-and-leaf plots or scatter
plots.
M11.E.1.1.2 Analyze data and/or answer questions
based on displayed data (box-and-whisker plots,
stem-and-leaf plots or scatter plots).
M11.D.1.1.1 Analyze a set of data for the existence
of a pattern and represent the pattern algebraically
and/or graphically.
Student Objectives (Competencies/Outcomes):
Students will be able to:
 Perform an SRS
 Design a sample/experiment
 Identify sources of bias in surveys/experiments
 Indentify methods of experimental control and
isolate explanatory/response variable
relationships in experiments through control
 Simulate the process of an experiment that
students design and apply methods of control
within the experiment (control for lurking
variables)
Essential Questions:
1. Collect, display, describe and perform
calculations with bivariate data.
2. Perform least squares regression analysis to
model data and to perform
interpolation/extrapolation with the data
3. Transform non-linear data using logarithms.
Then, perform inverse transformation with
power of 10 to produce exponential/power
regression equations.
4. Describe causation, common response and
confounding associations.
Vocabulary:
1. What is random sampling?
2. How are random samples performed?
3. What is bias? Why is this important when
collecting data from “random” samples?
4. What is an experiment? Why are experiments
more powerful than surveys?
5. How are samples/experiments simulated?
5.1: Design, population, sample, simple random
sample (SRS), stratified random sample, multistage
sample, bias, voluntary response, under-coverage,
non-response, poorly worded questions
5.2: observational study, experiment, treatment,
experimental units (subjects), design, control,
randomization, replication, comparison,
confounding, hidden bias, lack of realism,
blocks/blocking, matched pairs
5.3: simulation
Performance Task:
STAGE II – ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE
Other Evidence:
Class discussion, classwork/homework assignments and formal assessments.
Individual discussions with students and during tutoring after class as needed.
STAGE III – LEARNING PLAN
Interventions:
Materials and Resources:
Individual/group tutoring in 222 during 3rd period as well as after school as
needed.
Practice of Statistics textbook, graphing calculator, notebook, pencil
