Dorchester County Public Schools Every Child A Success! SUPERINTENDENT'S PRESS RELEASE Henry V. Wagner Jr., Ed.D., Superintendent DATE: November 11, 2014 AP Statistics Valid Survey Project By Jenna Murtagh Mr. Blisard’s AP Statistics students had the opportunity to simulate a school-wide valid survey project at North Dorchester High School. On November 6, these students, with the permission of selected teachers, visited different classes in order to randomly survey students of various grade levels. The AP Statistics students had prepared their own survey topic and questions beforehand and followed procedures to gather statistically valid data. Afterwards, the AP students analyzed their data and prepared a formal written report that documented the results of their surveys as valid. Without the help of the staff at North Dorchester, simulating this survey accurately would have not been possible. Mr. Blisard thanked the teachers who participated and said, “I really do appreciate all of the support that the teachers at North Dorchester provide for this project.”
