They ask each of the 120 students how many hours of sleep they got the night before and then calculate an average. Which of the following statements is an accurate description of the elements of this survey?
a. Population: the 120 students surveyed. Parameter of interest: the average number of hours a student at this high school sleeps per night.
b. Sample: the 1200 students of the school. Population: all high school students in the United States. Statistic: the average number of hours a student at this high school sleeps per night
c. Sample: the 120 students surveyed. Population: the 1200 students at the high school. Parameter of interest: the average number of hours a student at this high school sleeps per night.
d. Sample: the 120 students surveyed. Population: the 1200 students at the high school. Statistic: The average number of hours a student at this high school sleeps per night.

Answer:

Option E

Step-by-step explanation:

This survey will not be reliable as it is chosen for convenience; the first 120 students to arrive in school on a particular morning and this collection of individuals may not be a representative of the population. The study may become biased because it does not take into account the latecomers among the students which might have been changed the study from systematically favoring certain outcomes.

Help, and if you can give me a step by step explanation
Llana [10]

Answer:

the first option

Step-by-step explanation:

variability !

what does that word tell us ?

it means that there are more individuals differences.

you could also use "accuracy" as the opposite - we are aiming for the mean value ...

imagine some bow and arrow tournament.

who wins ?

the person with the highest accuracy across all the attempts (and that means the lowest variability in the results across all attempts relatively to the target center representing the predefined mean value).

now look at the graphic for neighborhood A.

and then for neighborhood B.

which one has the data points more clustered around the center (where the mean value is going to be) ? this one has lower variability than the one where the data points are having more than one cluster or are even all over the place.

remember, for the variability you have to add all the differences to the mean value. the smaller the differences to the mean value, the smaller the variability.

in neighborhood B almost all data points have a larger difference to the mean value.

so, the variability will be higher here.
