TEST BANK FOR PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS FOR ENGINEERING AND THE SCIENCES 8TH EDITION BY JAY L. DEVORE
Give one possible sample of size 4 from each of the following populations: a. All daily newspapers published in the United States b. All companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange c. All students at your college or university d. All grade point averages of students at your college or university ANS: a. Houston Chronicle, Des Moines Register, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post b. Capital One, Campbell Soup, Merrill Lynch, Pulitzer c. John Anderson, Emily Black, Bill Carter, Kay Davis d. 2.58. 2.96, 3.51, 3.69 PTS: 1 2. A Southern State University system consists of 23 campuses. An administrator wishes to make an inference about the average distance between the hometowns of students and their campuses. Describe and discuss several different sampling methods that might be employed. Would this be an enumerative or an analytic study? Explain your reasoning. ANS: One could take a simple random sample of students from all students in the California State University system and ask each student in the sample to report the distance from their hometown to campus. Alternatively, the sample could be generated by taking a stratified random sample by taking a simple random sample from each of the 23 campuses and again asking each student in the sample to report the distance from their hometown to campus. Certain problems might arise with self reporting of distances, such as recording error or poor recall. This study is enumerative because there exists a finite, identifiable population of objects from which to sample. PTS: 1 3. A Michigan city divides naturally into ten district neighborhoods. How might a real estate appraiser select a sample of single-family homes that could be used as a basis for developing an equation to predict appraised value from characteristics such as age, size, number of bathrooms, and distance to the nearest school, and so on? Is the study enumerative or analytic? ANS: One could generate a simple random sample of all single family homes in the city or a stratified random sample by taking a simple random sample from each of the 10 district neighborhoods. From each of the homes in the sample the necessary variables would be collected. This would be an enumerative study because there exists a finite, identifiable population of objects from which to sample.
