Question

Jason and Yolanda both drew a simple random sample from a non-normally distributed population of 25,000. Jason’s sample consisted of 0. 24% of the population, while Yolanda’s sample consisted of 0. 32% of the population. Whose sample can be used to make inferences about the population? neither Jason’s sample nor Yolanda’s sample only Jason’s sample only Yolanda’s sample both Jason’s sample and Yolanda’s sample.

Answer 1

Both the sample can be used to make inferences about the population.

The correct option is D.

Given

Jason and Yolanda both drew a simple random sample from a non-normally distributed population of 25,000.

Jason’s sample consisted of 0.24% of the population, while Yolanda’s sample consisted of 0.32% of the population.

Percentage;

A percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100.

According to the question

Total number of population = 25000

Percent of a sample of Jason = 0.24%

Percent of the sample of Yolanda's = 0.32%

So, the number of the population according to Jason's sample is given by;

$=\dfrac{0.24}{100}\times 25000\\\\=0.24 \times 250\\\\=60$

The number of the population according to Yolanda's sample is given by;

$=\dfrac{0.32}{100}\times 25000\\\\=0.32 \times 250\\\\=80$

Hence, Both the sample can be used to make inferences about the population
