Answer:
Methods of obtaining a sample of 600 employees from the 4,700 workforce:
Part A: The type of sampling method proposed by the CEO is Convenience Sampling.
Part B: When there are equal number of participants in both campuses, stratification by campus would give a more precise approximation of the proportion of employees who are satisfied with the cleanliness of the breakrooms than stratification by gender. Another method to ensure that stratification by campus gives a more precise approximation of the proportion of employees who are satisfied with the cleanliness of the breakrooms than stratification by gender is to ensure that the sample is proportional to the proportion of each campus to the whole population or workforce.
Step-by-step explanation:
A Convenience Sampling technique is a non-probability (non-random) sampling method and the participants are selected based on availability (early attendees). The early attendees might be different from the late attendees in characteristics such as age, sex, etc. Therefore, sampling biases are present. All non-probability sampling methods are prone to volunteer bias.
Stratified sampling is more accurate and representative of the population. It reduces sampling bias. The difficulty arises in choosing the characteristic to stratify by.
Answer:
The first one is proportional and the second one is not. Because for the first one you can see that if you divide the number of pens by the cost you'll get the same answer for every single one. But for the second one if you divide the number of minutes by words typed you get a different answer for each one. You can also see if it's proportional or not if you draw it on the graph and it's a straight line. If it is the relationship is proportional if it isn't it's not proportional. Hope that makes sense :)
1. Annual percent increase in rent is basically just a percentage of the rent increased each year.
2. Heater: Use fire places, or lower the amount of air conditioning usage so it's not so cold.
Electricity: Turn off ceiling fans and lights when not used, or only allow the essential things to use electricity.
Water: Not leave faucets or showers running, or no bathtubs which prevents baths.
3. The couple could save $450 in one year because 3000 divided by 0.15 which is the 15%, equals to the total amount saved at $450.
4. Groceries/everyday essentials, Gas money, taxes, pay off loans.
