Adam got the sum of his grades right, but he divided that correct figure by 6, getting 84 Before that division, the sum of his grades must have been 84 * 6, or 504. He should have divided 504 by 7, getting 72. Answer: His correct average test score is 72.
A sample is a small subset of a population, on which startistical analysis is carried out to obtain the characteristics of the population.
Sampling is the process of selecting units (e.g., people, organizations) from a
population of interest to obtain the characteristics of the population.
When drawing a sample, it is important that all the components of the population of interest is adequately represented.
Thefollowing samples are categorised based on whether they fairly represent the population of interest or not.
1.) M<span>easuring the heights of every fiftieth person on the school roster to determine the average heights of the boys in the school.
Here, the population of interest is the boys in the school. Drawing a sample of every fiftieth person on the school roster will contain both boys and girls whereas girls are not needed for the purpose of the survey.
Threfore, the sample does not represent fairly the population of interest.
2.) C</span><span>alling
every third person on the soccer team’s roster to determine how many of
the team members have completed their fundraising assignment.
Here, the population of interest is the team members, so drawing a sample of every third person on the soccer team's roster represents fairly the population of interest.
3.) </span>O<span>bserving every person walking down Main Street at 5 p.m. one evening to determine the percentage of people who wear glasses.
Here the population of interest is people who wear glasses, though observing people walking down the road might be a good way to drawing this sample, but the sample will be biased because by 5 pm, the sum will be down and the people who wear glasses because of the sun might not have their glasses on again.
So this sample does not fairly represent the population of interest.
4.) </span>Sending
a confidential e-mail survey to every one-hundredth parent in the
school district to determine the overall satisfaction of the residents
of the town.
Here, the population of interest is the residents of the town and not all residents of the town might be a parent.
So, the sample of one-hundredth parent in the school district does not fairly represent the population of interest.
5.) T<span>aking
a poll in the lunch room (where all students currently have to eat
lunch) to determine the number of students who want to be able to leave
campus during lunch.
Here, the population of interest is the students and taking a poll in the lunch room (where all students currently have to eat lunch) fairly represent the population of interest.
Therefore, the samples that fairly represent the population are:
</span>
<span>C<span>alling
every third person on the soccer team’s roster to determine how many of
the team members have completed their fundraising assignment.
and
</span></span>T<span>aking
a poll in the lunch room (where all students currently have to eat
lunch) to determine the number of students who want to be able to leave
campus during lunch.</span>
Hey there!
We can just multiply his hourly wage
by 5 to get our answer of 37.5.
Hope this helps!
