Week 10. Question 6 In a research report, suppose a researcher states that they ‘randomly’ stopped passers-by in a shopping centre to get responses for their survey. Explain why this process is not truly random.
The students in an Introductory Statistics class are asked to complete a survey about study habits. (a) does the study appear to use random sampling? yes or no (b) does the study appear to use random assignment? yes or no
True or False: Suppose I conducted a study using random assignment. This suggests that I took great effort to ensure that all of my subjects had an equal chance of being in either group.
Suppose you recruit the next 100 people who visit the DCC cafeteria to participate in a survey. One of the questions you ask is whether the student eats on campus (i.e., in the cafeteria) regularly, and you want to use the sample proportion to estimate the value of the (population) proportion of all DCC students who eat on campus regularly. Do you think this sampling method is likely to be biased? If so, in which direction? This sampling method is not likely to be biased and will produce a representative sample of DCC students. This sampling method is biased and is likely to yield an overestimate for the population proportion. This sampling method is biased and is likely to yield an underestimate for the population proportion.
A small community college employs 128 full-time faculty members. To gain the faculty's opinions about upcoming contract negotiations, the president of the faculty union wishes to obtain a simple random sample that will consist of 5 faculty members. She numbers the faculty 1 to 128. Use StatCrunch with a single fixed seed of 45 to obtain a simple random sample of 5 faculty members. Write the numbers corresponding to the members below. ... First faculty member: Second faculty member: Third faculty member: Fourth faculty member: Fifth faculty member:
. List the 10 possible samples (without replacement) of size 2 that can be obtained from the population of five officials. Lieutenant Governor (L) Secretary of State (S) Attorney General (A) Representative (R) Press Secretary (P) b. If a simple random sampling procedure is used to obtain a sample of two officials, what are the chances that it is the first sample on your list in part (a)? the secondsample? the tenth sample?
A worker wants to determine the average weight of fish fillets in his freezer. There are hundreds of boxes of fillets in the freezer with each box containing 15 fillets. He randomly selects 10 boxes of fish at random and pools all fillets in the 10 chosen boxes together as his sample. Is this simple random sampling, stratified sampling, or cluster sampling?
Suppose that 75% of adults agree that, while downloading music from the Internet and then selling it is piracy and should be prohibited, downloading for personal use is an innocent act and should not be prohibited. We'll take a random sample of 30 adults and ask if they agree with the statement. Then the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of people who answer yes to the question is:
In a survey, it was found that 80% of adults operate the flusher of toilets in public restrooms with their foot. (a) If 300 adults are randomly selected, how many would we expect to flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot? (b) Would it be unusual to observe 255 adults who flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot? (a) We would expect (Type a whole number.) adults to flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot. (b) Would it be unusual to observe 255 adults who flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot? Choose the correct answer below. O A. Yes, because 255 is greater than u + 2o. O B. No, because 255 is greater than u + 20. O C. Yes, because 255 is between u - 20 and u+ 20. O D. No, because 255 is less than u- 20. O E. No, because 255 is between u -20 and u+ 20.
When the Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts a survey, it begins by partitioning the United States adult population into 2,0072,007 groups called primary sampling units. Assume that these primary sampling units all contain the same number of adults. If you randomly select one adult from each primary sampling unit, is the result a simple random sample. Why or why not?
A small liberal arts college in the Northeast has 350350 freshmen. Seventy of the freshmen are education majors. Suppose fifty freshmen are randomly selected (without replacement). Step 1 of 2: Find the expected number of education majors in the sample. Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary.
