Chapter 5 - Experimental design, sampling, simulation

The test wil be Monday, November 8. Be thinking about what experiment or data collection activity you can perform during your lunch on Wednesday at the honor card event.

The Simpson's Paradox project

You are supposed to work in SMALL groups to pick an example of Simpson's Paradox and present it to the class. You are strongly encouraged to use technology in your presentation, but it is not actually required.

The website of the example we used in class on Thursday is
http://www.cawtech.freeserve.co.uk/simpsons.2.html . An electronic version of the megasearch list is available on Classhomework.com.

Everyone in your group must contribute. Your presentation must include an explanation provided by the weakest member of your group!

Electronic documents can be sent to me at Forensicslime at aol.com or brought in on CD or flashdrive. If you have a question about whether it will work on my machine, send it by 5:00 Tuesday evening. I'll get back to you.

Once you pick your example, post your selection here and identify your class period so no other group in your class picks the same example. First come-first served (and noone is fobbed off with a bad example). :)

CiCi you on Sunday!

On to Chapter 4

You can post your thoughts--linear and nonlinear--here. See you in the morning if you have questions!

Go Braves.
