Subjects in the population are sampled by a random process, using either a random number generator or a random number table, so that each person remaining in the population has the same probability of being selected for the sample.

How to Estimate a Population Total from a Simple Random Sample

1. This lesson describes how to estimate a population total, given survey data from a simple random sample. ...

2. Sample mean = x = Σx / n.

3. Population total = t = Nx.

4. where N is the number of observations in the population, and x is the sample mean.

A simple random sample is a subset of a statistical population in which each member of the subset has an equal probability of being chosen. ... In this case, the population is all 250 employees, and the sample is random because each employee has an equal chance of being chosen.

Random sampling is a part of the sampling technique in which each sample has an equal probability of being chosen. A sample chosen randomly is meant to be an unbiased representation of the total population.

Answer:c. duodenum of the small intestine

Two solid organs, the liver and the pancreas, produce digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes. In addition, parts of other organ systems (for instance, nerves and blood) play a major role in the digestive system.

Troyanec [42]
Transgenic organisms are those that have had their genomes altered by external means. These organisms are found in applications of genetic engineering, but they are only useful if the inserted gene is expressed in the organism.

An example of a transgenic organism may be a rat with the gene for hemoglobin from a rabbit. This rat is only useful if it indeed does produce rabbit hemoglobin in its blood due to the inserted gene.

KatRina [158]

There would be an increase in "Zebra" and "Gazelle" population. This is due to the fact that there wouldn't be as many lions to eat the zebras and gazelles, causing their repopulation to become more frequent.
