Chapter 14, Problem 29E
Exercises 29 and 30 refer to the following story: An orange grower wishes to compute the average yield from his orchard. The orchard contains three varieties of trees: 50% of his trees are of variety A, 25% of variety B, and 25% of variety C.
a. Suppose that the grower samples randomly from 300 trees of variety A, 150 trees of variety B, and 150 trees of variety C. What type of sampling is being used?
b. Suppose that the grower selects for his sample a 10 by 30 rectangular block of 300 trees of variety A, a 10 by 15 rectangular block of 150 trees of variety B, and a 10 by 15 rectangular block of 150 trees of variety C. What type of sampling is being used?
