Mid-unit assessment

Assess students’ ability to
 • given a description of a statistical study, identify the study type (observational study, survey, or experiment);
 • determine what type of statistical study would produce data that could be used to answer a given question;
 • distinguish between data distributions for which it would be reasonable to use the normal distribution as a model and those for which it would not be reasonable;
 • find an area under a normal curve and interpret it in the context of modeling a data distribution.
