Answer:

For this case, the method used would be simple random sampling since random digit dialing assumes that all possible people in the population have the same probability of being chosen.

We may have a non-response bias, because if a selected person does not choose the phone, we have no answers to the questions and there is no data available.

We may also have under coverage bias because some people may not have a phone and in this case these people would be excluded from the study

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case is important to remember the different types of sampling methods

Simple random sampling is a method where we select a sample size n and each individual in the population are equally likely to be selected.

Stratified random sampling is a method on which we select samples from subgroups of the population usually called strata.

Convinience sampling is a method that use a random number so select the sample

Cluster sampling is a method that separates the population in natural subgroups with no intersection between them and some of the groups are selected for the sample.

For this case, the method used would be simple random sampling since random digit dialing assumes that all possible people in the population have the same probability of being chosen.

Sources of bias

We may have a non-response bias, because if a selected person does not choose the phone, we have no answers to the questions and there is no data available.

We may also have under coverage bias because some people may not have a phone and in this case these people would be excluded from the study

Work out m and c for the line: y = 6 − x
Reika [66]

Put this into slope intercept form.

  y = 6 - x      becomes     y = -x + 6

"m" is the coefficient on x:   -1

"c" is the number without the x:   6

Karen wants to advertise how many chocolate chips are in each Big Chip cookie at her bakery. She randomly selects a sample of 60
Umnica [9.8K]

Sample mean : \overline{x}=10.6x=10.6

Standard deviation : s=1.7s=1.7

Significance level : \alpha:1-0.95=0.05α:1−0.95=0.05

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Hence the 95% confidence interval for the number of chocolate chips per cookie for big chip cookies= (10.1989,\ 11.0011)(10.1989, 11.0011)

A school debate team has four girls and six boys. A total of four of the team members will be chosen to participate in the distr
alex41 [277]
Procedure:

1) calculate the number of diferent teams of four members that can be formed (with the ten persons)
2) calculate the number of teams tha meet the specification (two girls and two boys)
3) Divide the positive events by the total number of events: this is the result of 2) by the result in 1)

Solution

1) the number of teams of four members that can be formed are:

10*9*8*7 / (4*3*2*1) = 210

2) Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = ways of chosing 2 boys * ways of chosing 2 girls

Ways of chosing 2 boys = 6*5/2 = 15
Ways of chosing 2 girls = 4*3/2 = 6

Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = 15 * 6 = 90

3) probability of choosing one of the 90 teams formed by 2 boys and 2 girls:

90/210 = 3/7

The line plot shows the weight of the bags of beans.what is the average weight of the bags.
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

So you have 12 bags total.

2 are 1/6 so their total weight is 1/3

2 are 1/3 so their total weight is 2/3

3 are 1/2 so their total weight is 3/2

4 are 2/3 so their total weight is 8/3

1 is 5/6 so their total weight is 5/6

Now add all of these up:

1/3 + 2/3 + 3/2 + 8/3 + 5/6 = 36/6 = 6

Then divide by the number of bags to get the average weight: 6/12 = 1/2
