Populations and Samples

In this lesson students work through class discussions and activities to identify populations and samples, as well as gain an understanding of the importance of selecting reliable random samples to gain information about a population. Students work in pairs to gather information using a biased sample and random sample to compare data and reflect on possible misconceptions that a biased sample could produce.
