Chapter 1: Q 1.32. (page 15)

Regarding simple random sampling:

(a) What is simple random sampling?

(b) What is a simple random sample?

(c) Identify two forms of simple random sampling and explain the difference between the two.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) A sampling procedure in which each possible sample of a given size has an equal chance of being selected.

Part (b) A sample obtained using simple random sampling.

Part (c) A sample can be obtained more than once in simple random sampling with replacement, but in simple random sampling without replacement, a sample can only be chosen once.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

What is simple random sampling?

02

Part (a) Step 2. Meaning of simple random sampling. 

Simple random sampling is a sampling procedure in which each possible sample of a given size has an equal chance of being selected.

03

Part (b) Step 1. Meaning of simple random sample.

A sample obtained using simple random sampling is known as a simple random sample.

04

Part (c) Step 1. Identify two forms of simple random sampling and explain the difference between them.

The two forms of simple random sampling are:

  1. Simple random sampling with replacement
  2. Simple random sampling without replacement

A member of the population can be selected more than once in simple random sampling with replacement.

In simple random sampling without replacement, on the other hand, a member of the population can only be chosen once.

Top North American Athletes. Refer to Problem 17.

(a) Use systematic random sampling to obtain a sample of 15 athletes.

(b) In this case, is systematic random sampling an appropriate alternative to simple random sampling? Explain your answer.

In Exercises 1.17-1.22, state whether the investigation in question is an observational study or a designed experiment. Justify your answer in each case.

Heart Failure. In the paper "Cardiac-Resynchronization Therapy with or without an Implantable Defibrillator in Advanced Chronic Heart Failure" (New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 350, pp. 2140-2150), M. Bristow et al. reported the results of a study of methods for treating patients who had advanced heart failure due to ischemic or nonischemic cardiomyopathies. A total of 1520 patients were randomly assigned in a 1:2:2 ratio to receive optimal pharmacologic therapy alone or in combination with either a pacemaker or a pacemaker-defibrillator combination. The patients were then observed until they died or were hospitalized for any cause.

In Exercises 1.92-1.97, we present descriptions of designed experiments. In each case, identify the

(a) experimental units

(b) response variable

(c) factor (s)

(d) levels of each factor:-

(e) treatments.

Increasing Unit Sales. Supermarkets are interested in strategies to increase temporarily the unit sales of a product. In one study, researchers compared the effect of display type and price on unit sales for a particular product. The following display types and pricing schemes were employed.

  • Display types: normal display space interior to an aisle, normal display space at the end of an aisle, and enlarged display space.
  • Pricing schemes: regular price, reduced price, and cost.

Regarding observational studies and designed experiments:

(a) Describe each type of statistical study.

(b) With respect to possible conclusions, what important difference exists between these two types of statistical studies?

Memorial Day Poll. In the year 2000, an on-line poll was conducted over Memorial Day weekend that asked people what they were doing to observe the holiday.
