In a University of Wisconsin (UW) study about alcohol abuse among students, 100 of the 40,858 members of the student body in Mad

ison were sampled and asked to complete a questionnaire. One question asked was, "On how many days in the past week did you consume at least one alcoholic drink?" a. Identify the population and the sample. b. For the 40,858 students at UW, one characteristic of interest was the percentage who would respond "zero" to this question. For the 100 students sampled, suppose 29% gave this response. Does this mean that 29% of the entire population of UW students would make this response? Explain.

Answer:

a) The population is 40,858 students and the sample is 100.

b) No

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The population would be the 40,858 members of the student body. Since we are only applying the questionnaire to 100 students, the sample would be 100.

b) 29% of the students answered "zero" to the question on how many days in the past week they consumed at least one alcoholic drink. This means that 29 out of 100 students gave this answer. However, this doesn't mean that 29% of the entire population of UW would give this response. Why is that? Because our sample is very small so it might not be representative of the whole population. Equally, the results from such a sample cannot be exactly the same results we would get from an entire population.

Schach [20]

Answer:

22 *8\frac{1}{4} = 181\frac{1}{2}

They work 181\frac{1}{2} hours per month.

Determine whether the events are independent.Numbers are written on slips of paper in a hat; one person pulls out a slip of pape
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Not independent

Explanation:

Two events are not independent/dependent if the result of one event affects the outcome of the other. In the case above, numbers are picked without replacement, therefore if one slip is picked then the other slip will be picked(slips are picked only once not twice or more as in independent events). Events would be independent if there was a replacement.
