Question

For every 6,000 batches of 100 cards that are printed, she examines every 100th batch to make sure the logo is aligned and the magnetic strip works. Identify the population and the sample. a. population: 6,000 batches of 1000 cards sample: every 10,000 cards c. population: 6,000 batches of 1000 cards sample: every 100th batch b. population: 6,000 batches of 100 cards sample: every 10,000 cards. d. population: 6,000 batches of 100 cards sample: every 100th batch

Answer 1

Using sampling concepts, the population and the sample are given as follows:

d. population: 6,000 batches of 100 cards sample: every 100th batch.

What is sampling?

It is a common statistics practice, when we want to study something from a population, we find a sample of this population, which is a group containing elements of a population. A sample has to be representative of the population, that is, it has to involve all segments of the population.

For example:

I want to estimate the proportion of New York state residents who are Buffalo Bills fans. So I ask, lets say, 1000 randomly selected New York state residents whether they are Buffalo Bills fans, and then:

• The population is: All New York State residents.

• The sample is the 1000 randomly selected New York state residents.

Hence, in the situation described the population is the 6,000 batches of 100 cards, while the sample is every 100th batch, hence option d is correct.
