Integrated Math III · Week 5 · Inferences and Conclusions from Data
Margin of Error
Reading polls honestly, including uncertainty.
- Students will
- Students compute the margin of error, about 1 over the square root of n, and use it to build an interval for a poll result.
- SEL skill
- Report uncertainty honestly by stating a margin of error and an interval
- What it looks like
- Students practice influencing with integrity by reporting uncertainty instead of hiding it.
- Content focus
- Margin of error and sample size
- Format
- Structured discussion
