Chapter 1: Q3-9BSC (page 1)

In Exercises 9鈥�20, identify which of these types of sampling is used: random, systematic, convenience, stratified, or cluster.

Cormorant Density Cormorant bird population densities were studied by using the 鈥渓ine transect method鈥� with aircraft observers flying along the shoreline of Lake Huron and collecting sample data at intervals of every 20 km (based on data from Journal of Great Lakes Research).

Short Answer

Expert verified

Systematic sampling

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The study requires an analysis of the population densities of Cormorant birds.

The sample data was collected by aircraft observers at every 20 km interval while flying along the shoreline of Lake Huron.

02

Identify the method of sampling

Data is collected at an interval of 20 km through aircraft observers while flying along Lake Huron鈥檚 shoreline.

Here, each observation is collected in a fixed interval, which is 20km.

As the data is collected randomly along a fixed interval, the sampling is said to be done in a systematic manner.

Thus, it is systematic sampling.

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.

Determine whether the sampling method appears to be sound or is flawed.
