<span>11.2 Florida voters. Florida played a key role in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. Voter
registration records in August 2010 show that 41% of Florida voters are registered as Democrats
and 36% as Republicans. (Most of the others did not choose a party.) To test a random digit
dialing device that you plan to use to poll voters for the 2010 Senate elections, you use it to call
250 randomly chosen residential telephones in Florida. Of the registered voters contacted, 34%
are registered Democrats. Is each of the boldface numbers a parameter or a statistic?
Answer
41 % of registered voters are Democrats: parameter
36% of registered voters are Republicans: parameter
34% of voters contacted are Democrats: statistic
11.7 Generating a sampling distribution. Let’s illustrate the idea of a sampling distribution in
the case of a very small sample from a very small population. The population is the scores of 10
students on an exam:
The parameter of interest is the mean score ÎĽ in this population. The sample is an SRS of size n =
4 drawn from the population. Because the students are labeled 0 to 9, a single random digit from
Table B chooses one student for the sample.
(a) Find the mean of the 10 scores in the population. This is the population mean ÎĽ.
(b) Use the first digits in row 116 of Table B to draw an SRS of size 4 from this population.
What are the four scores in your sample? What is their mean ? This statistic is an estimate of
ÎĽ.
(c) Repeat this process 9 more times, using the first digits in rows 117 to 125 of Table B. Make a
histogram of the 10 values of . You are constructing the sampling distribution of . Is the
center of your histogram close to ÎĽ?
Answer
(a) ÎĽ = 694/10 = 69.4.
(b) The table below shows the results for line 116. Note that we need to choose 5 digits because
the digit 4 appears twice.
(c) The results for the other lines are in the table; the histogram is shown after the table.</span>
Answer:
Temperature is usually uniform throughout a cell (Ans. C)
Explanation:
Heat or thermal energy is a kinetic energy. That is connected with the random movements present in the atoms. Temperature is usually uniform throughout the cell so the most cell can not harness heat to perform work.
Heat is a type of energy which is transfer from one body to another body due to the temperature difference.
It can only perform work if it is transferred from one source which is warmer to a body which is cooler. The temperature in living organisms is usually kept very constant due to the process of homeostasis.
Answer:
Stratified squamous epithelium
Explanation:
Most animals, including humans, have stratified squamous epithelium in their esophagus. It may include keratin, which gives an extra layer of protection, allowing them to eat bigger and less chewed food. It should be noted that the esophagus has a mucous membrane and because of the muscular layers, called muscularis mucosae, the food can pass rapidly through it preventing damages in its layers due to coarser or abrasive food.
In such a situation it would be best if Dr. Smith:
<span>''hire trained therapists who are from the same minority group''
This would have a wide ranging impact on the minority communities in the area.
Their participation would increase rapidly as their own community members would get the word out on the services provided and they might feel more comfortable in such an environment.
Since, mental health still has a stigma attached to it, especially in immigrant communities, this strategy would help to increase the level of mental health services provided to minority groups.
