Identify the sampling techniques used, and discuss potential sources of bias (if any). Assume the population of interest is the student body at a university. Questioning students as they leave an academic building, a researcher asks 341 students about their eating habits.

1. What type of sampling is used?

a. Systematic sampling is used, because students are selected from a list, with a fixed interval between students on the list.
b. Cluster sampling is used because students are divided into groups, groups are chosen at random, and every student in one of those groups is sampled.
c. Simple random sampling is used because students are chosen at random.
d. Stratified sampling is used because students are divided into groups, and students are chosen at random from these groups.
e. Convenience sampling is used because students are chosen due to convenience of location.

2. What potential sources of bias are present if any. Select all that apply.

a. University students may not be representative of all people in their age group.
b. The sample only consists of members of the population that are easy to get. These members may not be representative of the population.
c. Because of the personal nature of the question, students may not answer honestly.
d. There are no potential sources of bias.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1.  e. Convenience sampling is used because students are chosen due to convenience of location.

2. a. University students may not be representative of all people in their age group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Samples may be classified as:

Convenient: Sample drawn from a conveniently available pool.

Random: Basically, put all the options into a hat and drawn some of them.

Systematic: Every kth element is taken. For example, you want to survey something on the street, you interview every 5th person, for example.

Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.

Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. However, then only some elements of the group are surveyed.

Questioning students as they leave an academic building, a researcher asks 341 students about their eating habits.

Students sampled as they leave the build, which is convenience, in this case convenience of location, which means that the correct answer to question 1 is given by option e.

2. What potential sources of bias are present if any. Select all that apply.

Only members of one group are asked(university students), and this may not be representative of the rest of the population, which means that the correct answer to question 2 is given by option a.

PLEASE HELP NEED ANSWER ASAPPPP!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO FIRST CORRECT ANSWERRRR!!!

Answers

Answer:

Remember that the division by zero is not defined, this is the criteria that we will use in this case.

1) [tex]\frac{y^2 - 1}{y} + \frac{y}{y - 3}[/tex]

So the fractions are defined such that the denominator is never zero.

For the first fraction, the denominator is zero when y = 0

and for the second fraction, the denominator is zero when y = 3

Then the fractions exist for all real values except for y = 0 or y = 3

we can write this as:

R / {0} U { 3}

(the set of all real numbers except the elements 0 and 3)

2) [tex]\frac{b + 4}{b^2 + 7}[/tex]

Let's see the values of b such that the denominator is zero:

b^2 + 7 = 0

b^2 = -7

b = √-7

This is a complex value, assuming that b can only be a real number, there is no value of b such that the denominator is zero, then the fraction is defined for every real number.

The allowed values are R, the set of all real numbers.

3) [tex]\frac{a}{a*(a - 1) - 1}[/tex]

Again, we need to find the value of a such that the denominator is zero.

a*(a - 1) - 1 = a^2 - a - 1

So we need to solve:

a^2 - a - 1 = 0

We can use the Bhaskara's formula, the two values of a are given by:

[tex]a = \frac{-(-1) \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 + 4*1*(-1)} }{2*1} = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{5} }{2}[/tex]

Then the two values of a that are not allowed are:

a = (1 + √5)/2

a = (1 - √5)/2

Then the allowed values of a are:

R / {(1 + √5)/2} U {(1 - √5)/2}

Identify the domain of the function shown in the graph

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A polygraph (lie detector) is an instrument used to determine if an individual is telling the truth. These tests are considered to be 90% reliable. In other words, if an individual lies, there is a 0.90 probability that the test will detect a lie. Let there also be a 0.045 probability that the test erroneously detects a lie even when the individual is actually telling the truth. Consider the null hypothesis, "the individual is telling the truth," to answer the following questions
a. What is the probability of a Type I error? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
b. What is the probability of a Type II error? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

A) P(Type I error) = 0.045

B) P(Type II) error = 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the reliability of the test is 90% reliable.

Also, we are told that the probability that the test erroneously detects a lie even when the individual is actually telling the truth is 0.045.

Thus;

A) To calculate the probability of type I error:

From statistics, in this question we can say that the probability of a type I error is the probability that the test will erroneously detect a lie even though the individual is actually telling the truth. Thus;

Probability of (type I error) = P(rejecting true null) = 0.045

B) For probability of type II error, it is defined as the error where we accept a null hypothesis that is false. We can say that it produces a false negative and the formula is;

P(Type II) error = 1 - reliability

Reliability in the question is 0.90

Thus;

P(Type II) error = 1 - 0.9

P(Type II) error = 0.1

The hypotenuse of a 45°, 45°, and 90° triangle is 26 sqrt(2) inches. What is the length of each of the other sides?
(A)13 sqrt(2) inches
(B)13 inches
(C)13 sqrt(3) inches
(D)26 inches

Answers

remember the pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

where c is the hypotenuse.

so:

[tex] {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = { ( \sqrt{26)}}^{2} [/tex]

the square and the square root cancel each other out, so...

a² + b² = 26

we know that a and b are of equal length given the angles.

so it's

[tex] { \sqrt{13} }^{2} + { \sqrt{13} }^{2} = 26[/tex]

here the squares and square roots also cancel, but to keep the equation from the formula true we need to write them. that makes the difference between optional and B

Option A is correct,

a. the middle 95% of all Financial Analysts and Personal Financial Advisors make between $45.500 and $77,000 annually.
b. only 2.5% of all Financial Analysts and Personal Financial Advisors make less than $45,500 annually.
c. both of the above statements are false

Answers

Answer:

c. both of the above statements are false

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Distribution skewed to the right

This means that the Empirical Rule is not applicable, and the two statements are false, and thus, the correct answer is given by option c.

The first would be false nonetheless, but the second would be true if the distribution was normal.

A bunk bed with a cash price of $1,998, at $143 per month for 15 months

Answers

Answer:

$2,145 ; $147 ; 14 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The cash price, that is, the amount that would be paid if customer is to pay the entire amount item is worth at once = $1998

Monthly payment = $143

Period = 15 months

The total installment price ; total amount paid on a monthly pay for 15 months :

(monthly payment * period)

($143 * 15)

= $2,145

The carrying charge :

Installment pay - Cash amount

$(2,145 - 1,998)

= $147

The number of month needed to save at Monthly rate to buy item at it's cash price :

Cash price / monthly payment

$1998 / $143

= 13.97

= 14 months

Using translation concepts, the vertex of k(x) is 6 units below the vertex of f(x) = x² for:

D. f(x) = x² and k(x) = x² - 6.

What is a translation?

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.

We want to shift the vertex 6 units down, hence the transformation is y -> y - 6, so the correct pair is:

Which among the following numbers could be the probability of an event? 1,1.4,-0.54,.32,.02,0

Answers

4 Answers: Choice A) 1 Choice D) 0.32 Choice E) 0.02Choice F) 0

In other words, choices B and C are the non-answers while everything else is an answer.

==============================================================

Explanation:

Let p represent the probability of an event. The value of p must be between 0 and 1, inclusive of both endpoints. Symbolically, we can write [tex]0 \le p \le 1[/tex]

In other words, p = 0 is the smallest it can get and p = 1 is the largest it can get, or it could be anything in between.

The probability p = 0 means that the event will never happen, or there's 0% of it happening. The probability p = 1 means there's 100% certainty the event will happen.

Something like p = 1.4 is not possible as this indicates it's over 100%. So that rules out choice B. Choice C is also ruled out because we can't have negative probabilities.

Because of recent drought conditions, the agency believes that the mean selling time is now greater than 90 days. A statewide survey of 100 recently sold farms revealed a mean selling time of 94 days, with a standard deviation of 22 days.
At the 0.10 significance level, has there been an increase in selling time?

Answers

Answer:

Test statistic = 1.818

Reject H0

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : μ = 90

H1 : μ > 90

xbar = 94 ; s = 22 ; n = 100

The test statistic : (xbar - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

Test statistic = (94 - 90) ÷ (22/√100)

Test statistic = 4 ÷ 2.2

T = 1.818

The critical value :

At α = 0.10

Degree of freedom = n - 1 = 100 - 1 = 99

Tcritical(0.10, 99) = 1.290

Decison region :

Reject H0 if Test statistic > |Tcritical |

We reject H0
