Exercises 5鈥8 refer to the study of an association between which ear is used for cell phone calls and whether the subject is left-handed or right-handed. The study is reported in 鈥淗emispheric Dominance and Cell Phone Use,鈥 by Seidman et al., JAMA Otolaryngology鈥 Head & Neck Surgery, Vol. 139, No. 5. The study began with a survey e-mailed to 5000 people belonging to an otology online group, and 717 surveys were returned. (Otology relates to the ear and hearing.).

Sampling Method Assume that the population consists of all students currently in your statistics class. Describe how to obtain a sample of six students so that the result is a sample of the given type.

a. Simple random sample

b. Systematic sample

c. Stratified sample

d. Cluster sample

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Select six students randomly from the class from a bowl of roll numbers.

b. Select the first student from the straight line and then each of the k-th students in the line.

c. Make strata based on gender and select three students from each of the genders.

d. Make clusters of three students in a row-wise manner and select any two clusters.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The population comprises all students of the statistics class. It is required to obtain a sample of size six.

02

Sampling as a simple random sample

a.

In a simple random sampling, the subjects are chosen from the population in such a way that no particular pattern is followed, and the probability of being selected in the sample is the same for any student.

The aim is to form a simple random sample containing six students from the statistics class. The below steps are followed:

1. Make identical-looking chits using the roll numbers of students and shuffle them in a bowl.

2. Pick six chits from the bowl.

Thus, the six students have an equal chance of being selected.

03

Sampling as systematic sample

b.

In systematic sampling, the subjects are chosen from the population in such a way that a certain pattern is followed for choosing each subject after the first one is randomlychosen from the population.

The aim is to form a systematic sample containing six students from the statistics class. The below steps are followed:

1. Align all students in a straight line randomly.

2. Select any student at random from the class.

3. After selecting the first student at random, select every 10th(k) student in the line until six students are selected.

Note: K can be any random number that stays constant throughout the sampling.

Thus, the six students are selected by systematic sampling.

04

Sampling as stratified sample

c.

In stratified sampling, random samples are taken from each of the strata. The strata are designed in such a way that they share a common characteristic.

The aim is to form a stratified sample containing six students from the statistics class.

The below steps are followed:

1. Divide the students into two groups, say based on gender(strata).

2. Select three students from each of the groups.

Thus, the six students are selected as stratified sampling.

05

Sampling as cluster sample

d.

In cluster sampling, each of the items from randomly selected clusters is surveyed for a response. The clusters are identical.

The aim is to form a cluster sample containing six students from the statistics class. The below steps are followed:

1. As per the random seating arrangement of students in the class, divide the students in a row-wise manner in a set of three.

2. Select any two rows randomly.

3. Collect responses from all the students of the two rows.

Thus, the six students are selected as cluster sampling.

Chillax USA Today reported results from a Research Now for Keurig survey in which 1458 men and 1543 women were asked this: 鈥淚n a typical week, how often can you kick back and relax?鈥

a. Among the women, 19% responded with 鈥渞arely, if ever.鈥 What is the exact value that is 19% of the number of women surveyed?

b. Could the result from part (a) be the actual number of women who responded with 鈥渞arely, if ever鈥? Why or why not?

c. What is the actual number of women who responded with 鈥渞arely, if ever鈥?

d. Among the men who responded, 219 responded with 鈥渞arely, if ever.鈥 What is the percentage of men who responded with 鈥渞arely, if ever.鈥?

e. Consider the question that the subjects were asked. Is that question clear and unambiguous so that all respondents will interpret the question the same way? How might the survey be improved?

Determine whether the given source has the potential to create a bias in a statistical study.

Statistical Significance and Practical Significance. In Exercises 13鈥16, determine whether the results appear to have statistical significance, and also determine whether the results appear to have practical significance.

Gender Selection In a study of the Gender Aide method of gender selection used to increase the likelihood of a baby being born a girl, 2000 users of the method gave birth to 980 boys and 1020 girls. There is about a 19% chance of getting that many girls if the method had no effect.

Identify whether the given value is a statistic or a parameter.

In Exercises 21鈥24, refer to the data in the table below. The entries are white blood cell counts (1000 cells,ML) and red blood cell counts (million cells,ML) from male subjects examined as part of a large health study conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. The data are matched, so that the first subject has a white blood cell count of 8.7 and a red blood cell count of 4.91, and so on.

Source of the Data Considering the source of the data, does that source appear to be biased in some way?
