In a survey of sleeping habits, 8400 adults were selected randomly and contacted by telephone. Based on a medical association's

recommended amount of sleep for adults, respondents were asked, "Do you typically sleep more than 6 hours during the night?" Of those surveyed, only 46% reported that they did. Suppose the researchers that conducted the survey described above decide to conduct it again but will now interview only 5000 people. In the first survey of 8400 people, the observed proportion was 46%. Which of the following is TRUE about the sample proportion for the second survey?
a. By the law of large numbers, it would again be 46%.
b. By the law of large numbers, the smaller (second) survey will certainly produce a sample proportion farther from the true population proportion than the larger (first) survey.
c. The proportion computed from the sample of 5000 people would be more accurate because smaller samples tend to be more homogeneous than larger samples.
d. None of the above.

Answer:

d. None of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>a. By the law of large numbers, it would again be 46%. </em>

FALSE. This proportion (46%) is a sample statistic, that can or can not be repeated in another sample.

<em>b. By the law of large numbers, the smaller (second) survey will certainly produce a sample proportion farther from the true population proportion than the larger (first) survey. </em>

FALSE. Smaller samples will produce wider confidence intervals for the estimation of the population proportion, but larger samples does not necessarily gives us better point estimations of the true proportion. A small sample can be closer to the true proportion than a large sample, although is less probable.

<em>c. The proportion computed from the sample of 5000 people would be more accurate because smaller samples tend to be more homogeneous than larger samples. </em>

FALSE. There is no evidence to claim that smaller samples are more homogeneous.

<em>d. None of the above.</em> TRUE

Answer:

70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The minor angle of AB forms a straight line with angle x. When summed up it equals 180°.

minor angle of AB + x° = 180°

110° + x° = 180°

x° = 180° - 110°

= 70°

Enjoy!!!

Solve the following proportion by cross multiplying:<br> x / 8 = 28 / 32
AveGali [126]
Since it is an equality that means the left side of the equation (x/8) has to be equal to the right side of the equation (28/32). One way you can solve for x is to isolate it. Since it’s an equality like we said you have to do to the left side the same that you would do to the right side to isolate x. So if I multiply by 8 on the left I need to also multiply by 8 on the right. So 8* (x/8) becomes just x since 8x/8 becomes 8/8 * x which is 1 *x. On the right side we do 8 *(28/32) which becomes 28 * 8/32 which becomes 7. So x = 7.
