You construct a sample in which Whites, Blacks, and Latinos are randomly selected from the U.S. adult population. The compositio

n of your final sample is 25% White, 30% Black, and 30% Latino. You've sampled from all over the country, but the actual composition of the population has a much higher proportion of Whites. This is likely an example of a:

Answer:

Stratified random sample error

Step-by-step explanation:

When you use stratified sampling, you divide the total population or universe  into strata (non-overlapping homogeneous groups). Then you draw a simple random sample (SRS) from each stratum (singular of strata).

You must make sure that your strata does not overlap, e.g. Latinos are not a race, but a culture and they come in all colors (whites, native indigenous, blacks, even Asians). That is why sometimes the term non-Hispanic whites is used.

Another reason why the sampling error might have occurred is that not all Caucasians are white, e.g. Arabs, people from northern Africa and most middle eastern Jews are considered Caucasians but their skin is tanned and it can be as dark as the skin of a Native American.

The US census only recognizes 5 races:

  1. Whites (includes Hispanic whites and other Caucasians)
  2. African Americans
  3. American Indian or Alaska Native
  4. Asian
  5. Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
  6. the sixth category is two or more races

As you can see, there is a lot of room for mistakes when you try to categorize people into races.

Three potential employees took an aptitude test. Each person took a different version of the test. The scores are reported below
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Due to the higher Z-score, Demetria should be offered the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Whichever applicant had grade with the highest z-score should be offered the job.

Demetria got a score of 85.1; this version has a mean of 61.1 and a standard deviation of 12.

For Demetria, we have X = 85.1, \mu = 61.1, \sigma = 12. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{85.1 - 61.1}{12}

Z = 2

Vincent got a score of 299.2; this version has a mean of 264 and a standard deviation of 22.

For Vincent, we have X = 299.2, \mu = 264, \sigma = 22.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{299.2 - 264}{22}

Z = 1.6

Tobias got a score of 7.26; this version has a mean of 7.1 and a standard deviation of 0.4.

For Tobias, we have X = 7.26, \mu = 7.1, \sigma = 0.4.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{7.26 - 7.1}{0.4}

Z = 0.4

Due to the higher Z-score, Demetria should be offered the job.

What is the area of a square rug that measures 6 feet on a side? 3 square feet 24 square feet 12 square feet 36 square feet
QveST [7]
Well we know the area of a square is l*w, or s^2. So we can use s^2 where s=6 in your case. Now 6^2 is 6*6, which is 36.

So the area of a square rug that measures 6 feet is 36 feet

Answer= 36 feet
