National polls are often conducted by asking the opinions of a few thousand adults nationwide and using them to infer the opinio

ns of all adults in the nation. Explain who is in the sample and who is in the population for such polls. Please use a poll from a newspaper, TV, a magazine, or from the Internet
EXAMPLE:
Hello! I saw a poll on TV the other day. It was a simple poll of favorability of our current president. His numbers went down from the previous poll of 54% favorable and 47% unfavorable to 48% favorable and 52% unfavorable. The population is all people in the U.S. of voting age and the sample was probably 1000 people in a major city in the United States.

Answer:

The population is the set of all the elements. And the sample is a subset of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population is the set of all the elements. And the sample is a subset of the population.

The sample is used to make conclusions regarding the population.

A poll is conducted from the target population to determine the general opinions of the individuals of that population.

The basic method of polling is to select a few thousand individuals from the population and ask their opinions on a certain subject.

The poll will result usually in two values, the proportion of individual in favor and the proportion of individual not in favor.

Consider the example below.

The polling done to determine the favorability of the new brand of tea. The polling was done using a few hundred members of the tea drinking community of a country. The poll resulted as follows:

In favor = 72%

Not in favor = 28%

The population is the entire tea drinking community of a country.

In this case the sample consist of few 100 people of the tea drinking community of a country.

The auto parts department of an automotive dealership sends out a mean of 4.2 special orders daily. What is the probability that
gregori [183]

The probability that, for any day, the number of special orders sent out will be exactly 3 is 0.1633.

<h3>What are some of the properties of Poisson distribution?</h3>

The Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that describes the likelihood of a specific number of events occurring in a specified span of time or space, if these events occur at a constant mean rate and regardless of the time since the last occurrence.

Let X ~ Pois(λ)

Then we have:

E(X) = λ = Var(X)

Since standard deviation is the square root (positive) of variance,

Thus,

The standard deviation of X = \sqrt{\lambda}

Its probability function is given by

f(k; λ) = Pr(X = k) =   \dfrac{\lambda^{k}e^{-\lambda}}{k!}

Given the mean is 4.2.

We have to find the probability that on any day, the number of special orders sent out will be exactly 3. Therefore, the value of x will be 5.

Using the Poisson distribution,

P(x) = \dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda ^x}{x!}\\\\P(5) =\dfrac{e^{-4.2}(4.2)^5}{5!}\\\\P(5) = 0.1633

Hence, the probability that, for any day, the number of special orders sent out will be exactly 3 is 0.1633.

World poultry production was 77.2 million tons in the year 2004 and increasing at a continuous rate of 1.6% per year. Assume tha
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

A) P(t)=77.2\cdot e^{0.016t}

B) 89.157 million tons.

C) In year 2017.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that world poultry production was 77.2 million tons in the year 2004 and increasing at a continuous rate of 1.6% per year.

A). We know that a continuous growth function is in form y=a\cdot e^{kx}, where,

a = Initial value,

k = Growth rate in decimal form.

1.6\%=\frac{1.6}{100}=0.016

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

P(t)=77.2\cdot e^{0.016t}

Therefore, our required function would be P(t)=77.2\cdot e^{0.016t}, where, P represents world poultry production, in million tons, as a function of the number of years, t, since 2004.

B) To find the world poultry production in the year 2013, we will substitute t=2013-2004=9 in above formula as:

P(9)=77.2\cdot e^{0.016(9)}

P(9)=77.2\cdot e^{0.144}

P(9)=77.2\cdot 1.1548841085249135

P(9)=89.1570531781\approx 89.157

Therefore, the world poultry production in the year 2013 would be 89.157 million tons.

C) To find the number of years it will take for world poultry production to be over 95 million tons, we will equate our function with 95 as:

95=77.2\cdot e^{0.016t}

Divide both sides by 77.2:

1.2305699481865285=e^{0.016t}

Take natural log of both sides:

\text{ln}(1.2305699481865285)=\text{ln}(e^{0.016t})

\text{ln}(1.2305699481865285)=0.016t\text{ln}(e)

0.20747743456981035=0.016t*1

Divide both sides by 0.016:

t=12.9673396606

t\approx 13

Therefore, 13 years after in 2017 world poultry production goes over 95 million tons.
