Question

03.01 MC) A surveyor randomly interviewed 65,439 people who live in Virginia to gather information on whether national healthcare is accomplishing its goals. Part A: What are the population and sample in this survey? (4 points) Part B: The survey found that 71% of females and 88% of males visited a family doctor at least once in the past year. Do you think these approximations of the sample are close to approximations of the entire population? Explain. (6 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A: The population and the sample of the survey are;

The population = The entire population of the country

The sample = 65,439 people in the state of Virginia

Part B: Given that the survey was based on only one state and only one model of health care delivery, the approximations of the sample will not be close to the approximations of the entire population

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The number of people interviewed in the survey = 65,439 people

The location of the people surveyed = Virginia

The goal of the survey = The effectiveness of the national healthcare

The number of females that visited a family doctor at least once in the past year = 71%

The number of males that visited a family doctor at least once in the past year = 88%

Part A: The population and the sample of the survey are;

The population = The entire population of the country

The sample = 65,439 people in the state of Virginia

Part B: Given that the survey was based on only one state and only one model of health care delivery, the approximations of the sample will not be close to the approximations of the entire population.
