Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.96 Recognize Statistical Questions and Plan Data Collection skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A student says, “My survey shows 90% of students like homework,” but they only asked 10 students in their honors class. Which statement best explains why the result is unreliable?

AA sample can never be used.

BThe sample is too small and not representative of the whole school.

CPercentages cannot be calculated from surveys.

DHonors students are not allowed to answer surveys.

Solution & Explanation:A small, specialized group (one honors class) may not match the whole school. A larger, more representative sample is needed for a reliable estimate.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A school wants to know whether a new hallway rule reduced noise. Which variable would be most direct to measure?

AStudents’ favorite quiet activity

BDecibel (sound level) readings taken at the same location and time on many days before and after the rule

CThe number of posters about quiet behavior

DThe length of the hallway

Solution & Explanation:Noise level can be measured with decibels. Taking many readings before and after, under the same conditions, supports a fair comparison.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A city wants the typical household electricity use per month. Which data source is best?

AOne household’s bill

BA random sample of monthly electricity bills from many households in the city

CElectricity use from a different city

DThe number of lightbulbs sold in stores

Solution & Explanation:Monthly use varies by household. A random sample of many households’ bills gives numerical data to estimate a typical value for the city.
