A college Statistics class conducted a survey concerning community attitudes about the college's large homecoming celebration. T

hat survey drew its sample in the following manner: Telephone numbers were generated at random by selecting one of the local telephone exchanges (first three digits) at random and then generating a random four-digit number to follow the exchange. If a person answered the phone and the call was to a residence, then that person was taken to be the subject for interview. (Undergraduate students and those under voting age were excluded, as was anyone who could not speak English.) Calls were placed until a sample of 200 eligible respondents had been reached.
Required:
a. Did every telephone number that could occur in that community have an equal chance of being generated?
b. Did this method of generating telephone numbers result in a simple random sample (SRS) of local residences? Explain.
c. Did this method generate an SRS of local voters? Explain.
d. Is this method unbiased in generating samples of households? Explain.

Answer:

A) Yes

B) No

C) No

D) No

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Yes, every telephone number that could occur in that community will have an equal chance of being generated because the telephone numbers were generated randomly.

B) No, this method of generating telephone numbers would not result in a simple random sample (SRS) of local residences because the first three digits were generated in a different random way than the last four digits.

C) No, this method would not generate an SRS of local voters because not everybody will be pick up when they call because they may not be at home or they may be too busy to pick up.

D) No, this method is not unbiased in generating samples of households because there will be nonresponse bias since not everyone will pick up the call

Find the zeros of the polynomial p(x) 5-10x​
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is :

p(x) = 5-10x​

We need to find the zeros of the above polynomial. To find it, put p(x) = 0

5-10x​ = 0

Subtract 5 from both sides

5-10x​-5=0-5

-10x=-5

or

10x=5

Divide both sides by 10.

x = 0.5 = 1/2

Hence, the zeros of the polynomial is 1/2.

Three six-sided fair dice are rolled. The six sides of each die are numbered 1; 2; : : : ; 6. Let A be the event that the first
valkas [14]

Answer:

1.) [A, B, C]

2.) [A', B', C']

3.) [A', B, C] or [A, B', C] or [A, B, C'] or [ A', B', C] or [A', B, C'] or [A, B', C'] or [A', B', C']

4.) A', B', C] or [A', B, C'] or [A, B', C'] or [A', B, C] or [A, B', C] or [A, B, C'] or [A, B, C]

Step-by-step explanation:

If A is the event that the first die shows an even number, then A' is the event that first die DOES NOT show an even number.

If B is the event that the Second die shows and even number, then B' is the event that second die DOES NOT show an even number.

If C is the event that the third die shows an even number, then C' is the event that third die DOES NOT show an even number.

Hence, our possible events are A, A', B, B', C, C'.

For question 1, in the event that all three dice show and even number, the expression of the event = [A, B, C]

For question two, in the event that no die shows an even number, the expression of the event = [A', B', C']

For question 3,In the event that at least one die shows an odd number, the expression of the event = [A', B, C] or [A, B', C] or [A, B, C'] or [ A', B', C] or [A', B, C'] or [A, B', C'] or [A', B', C']

For question 4,in the event that at most two dice show odd numbers, the expression of the event = [A', B', C] or [A', B, C'] or [A, B', C'] or [A', B, C] or [A, B', C] or [A, B, C'] or [A, B, C]
