Your statistics class has 30students. You want to ask an SRS of 5students from your class whether they use a mobile device for the online quizzes. You label the students 01,02,...,30. You enter the table of random digits at this line: 1445926056314248037165103622532249061181

Your SRS contains the students labeled

a. 14,45,92,60,56

b. 14,31,03,10,22

c. 14,03,10,22,22

d.14,03,10,22,06

e.14,03,10,22,11

Short Answer

Expert verified

SRS contains students labeled with 14,03,10,22,06i.e. option (d) is correct.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We need to find the correct labeling of students in SRS

02

Explanation

The pupils are labeled 01,02,...,30, and we want to pick five students at random.

1445926056314248037165103622532249061181

In the given line, choose the first two-digit number. If the number is between 01and 30(inclusive), the appropriate student will be chosen; otherwise, the two-digit number will be ignored and the next two-digit number will be chosen.

Repeat until 5distinct pupils have been chosen.

Sampling stuffed envelopes A large retailer prepares its customersโ€™

monthly credit card bills using an automatic machine that folds the bills, stuffs them into

envelopes, and seals the envelopes for mailing. Are the envelopes completely sealed?

Inspectors choose 40envelopes at random from the 1000stuffed each hour for visual

inspection. Identify the population and the sample.

I work out a lot Are people influenced by what others say? Michael conducted an experiment in front of a popular gym. As people entered, he asked them how many days they typically work out per week. As he asked the question, he showed the subjects one of two clipboards, determined at random. Clipboard A had the question and many responses written down, where the majority of responses were6or7days per week. Clipboard B was the same, except most of the responses were1or2days per week. The mean response for the Clipboard A group was4.68and the mean response for the Clipboard B group was4.21.

a. Calculate the difference (Clipboard A โ€“ Clipboard B) in the mean number of days for the two groups. One hundred trials of a simulation were performed to see what differences in means would occur due only to chance variation in the random assignment, assuming that the responses on the clipboard donโ€™t matter. The results are shown in the dotplot.

b. There is one dot at0.72. Explain what this dot means in this context.

c. Use the results of the simulation to determine if the difference in means from part (a) is statistically significant. Explain your reasoning.

The administration at a high school with 1800 students wants to gather student opinions about parking for students on campus. It isnโ€™t practical to contact all students.

a. Give an example of a way to choose a voluntary response sample of students. Explain how this method could lead to bias.

b. Give an example of a way to choose a convenience sample of students. Explain how this method could lead to bias.

c. Describe how to select an SRSof50students from the school.

d. Explain how the method you described in part (c) avoids the biases you described in parts (a) and (b).

Tonya wanted to estimate the average amount of time that students at her school spend on Facebook each day. She gets an alphabetical roster of students in the school from the registrarโ€™s office and numbers the students from 1 to 1137. Then Tonya uses a random number generator to pick 30 distinct labels from 1 to 1137. She surveys those 30 students about their Facebook use. Tonyaโ€™s sample is a simple random sample because

a. it was selected using a chance process.

b. it gave every individual the same chance to be selected.

c. it gave every possible sample of size 30 an equal chance to be selected.

d. it doesnโ€™t involve strata or clusters.

e. it is guaranteed to be representative of the population.

Tweet, tweet! What proportion of students at your school use Twitter? To find out, you survey a simple random sample of students from the school roster.

a. Will your sample result be exactly the same as the true population proportion? Explain your answer.

b. Which would be more likely to produce a sample result closer to the true population value: an SRS of 50students or an SRS of 100students? Explain your answer.
