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

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.

When you have the number 81 as your median and you have to find the missing number out of the following 82,87,77,70,80,88

Uh, so, you're median is 81 already.

Since the middle two numbers are 82 and 80, you have to add them together and then divide by 2. 

However, if you're trying to add a number in, adding 81 as it is would work as well.

Hope this helps!
