3. A newly graduate of administration of justice has been hired by the regional director of the FBI to take a poll of a residential area to determine the proportion of residents who would be opposed to a gun exchange program in their community. The regional director of the FBI told her that if 50% or more of the residents are opposed to the idea, a gun exchange program will not be implemented. She takes a random sample of 150 household heads in the community and find that .42 of those sampled are opposed to the idea. Build a 99% confidence interval around this point estimate. Is 50% within her interval? What would she advise the regional director of the FBI who hired her?
Which of the following are sources of sampling error and which are sources of nonsampling error? The subject cannot be contacted in five calls. The telephone directory is used as a sampling frame.

A report provided the following information on gender of smartphone users for representative samples of young people age 15 to 24 in several different countries. Country Percent Female Percent Male United States 53% 47% Spain 38% 62% Italy 37% 63% India 19% 81% (a) Suppose the sample sizes were 1000 for the United States and for India and 500 for Spain and Italy. Complete the following two-way table by entering the observed counts. Country Female Male United States Spain Italy India (b) Carry out a hypothesis test to determine if there is convincing evidence that the gender proportions are not the same for all four countries. Use a significance level of 0.05. State the null and alternative hypotheses. H0: The gender proportions of smartphone users are not the same for all countries. Ha: The gender proportions of smartphone users are the same for all countries.H0: The gender proportions of smartphone users are the same for all…

Sociologists argued that women on average earn less than men as women often choose to work less hours. They further suggest that the choice of hours worked may be driven by various factors such as age, childcare needs, occupation choice and flexibility. To investigate the relation between hours worked and income earned by Australian men and women, a researcher plans to survey a sample of individuals across the country. Briefly explain a) What type of survey method the researcher could use and why? b) What sampling method could the researcher use to select his/her sample and why? c) What are the two main variables the researcher should consider collecting data for the purpose of the above analysis and why? Identify the data type(s) for the variables. d) What kind of issues the researcher may face in this data collection? Suppose a researcher has collected data from a sample of 65 individuals using the sampling method you have proposed in (b). For each individual, the hours worked per…
