Interested in the number of hours a day the typical student studies at his university, Paul decides to form several samples of s

tudents and interview each sample at a different time during the semester, including during the final exam period. Which requirement for probability sampling could Paul be violating

Answer:

unbiased sample values

Step-by-step explanation:

Unbiased sampling involves eliminating any form of bias in the method of selection of participants in a study in order to draw a conclusion about the population.

Paul had introduced bias in the sampling that out to look at the number of hours a day the typical student studies by introducing the variable of studying during the final exam period.

Most likely all student will study during the final exam period. This will not truly represent the study pattern of the sample population and equal chance of selection of study hours of the students. Hence paul had violated the requirement of unbiased sample values for probability sampling by not doing a random selection or systematic random selection

Answer:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.64})^2}=420.25  

And rounded up we have that n=421

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the sample proportion have the following distribution:

\hat p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.90=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.04 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

We assume that a prior estimation for p would be \hat p =0.5 since we don't have any other info provided. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.64})^2}=420.25  

And rounded up we have that n=421

Helga [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8 in × (1 ft)/(12 in) = ⅔ ft

36 ft × 58 ft × ⅔ ft = 1392 ft³

1392 ft³ × (1 yd³)/(27 ft³) ≅ 52 yd³

52 yd³ × $123/yd³ = $6396

The 7 a.m. flight from Dallas to Chicago is on time 75% of the time. Fran created this spinner to simulate the scenario.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

CORRECT OPTION is (C) The flight will be late on one of the three days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 7am flight from Dallas to Chicago is on time 75% of the time.

A spinner with four sections was created by Fran to simulate this scenario.

Since the 4 sections were equal, it means each section was 25% of the spinner.

3 sections were shaded. That implies 25 × 3 = 75% of the spinner was shaded area.

This coincides with the 75% probability that the flight is on time on a given day.

In other words, if the spinner's pointer lands on shaded area, the flight will be on time. If the pointer lands on an unshaded portion, the flight will be late.

Now Fran spun the spinner 3 times so she has 3 outcomes. The outcomes are:

- Shaded   - Shaded   - Unshaded

CORRECT OPTION is (C) The flight will be late on one of the three days.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The answer is 180 yds squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment the areas.  One area has the measurements 5 and 6. Then the other one has measurements 15 and 10. This means you get 150 + 30. The answer is 180 yds squared.
