Oklahoma State Officials. The five top Oklahoma state officials are displayed in Table 1.2 on page 11. Use that table to solve the following problems.

(a) List the possible samples of size 1 that can be obtained from the population of five officials.

(b) What is the difference between obtaining a simple random sample of size 1 and selecting one official at random?

(c) List the possible samples (without replacement) of size 5 that can be obtained from the population of five officials.

(d) What is the difference between obtaining a simple random sample of size 5 and taking a census of the five officials?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) G, L, S, A, T.

Part (b) There is no difference between collecting a basic random sample of size 1 and selecting one official at random.

Part (c)Sample:- G, L, S, A, T.

Part (d) There is no difference between taking a census of the five officials and obtaining a simple random sample of size 5.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information.

The given information is:

The five top Oklahoma state officials are displayed in Table 1.2 on page 11. Use that table to solve the following problems.

02

Part (a) Step 2. List the possible samples of size 1 that can be obtained from the population of five officials.

Make a list of the possible samples of size 1 from a population of five officials.

Governor (G)

lieutenant General (L)

Secretary of State (S),

Attorney General (A)

Treasurer (T)

They are the five officers listed in Table 1.2.

As a result, the following are the possible samples of size 1 from the given population:

Samples: G, L, S, A, T

03

Part (b) Step 1. Difference between obtaining a simple random sample of size 1 and selecting one official at random 

It is evident from part (a) that the specified population has 5 samples of size 1.

Furthermore, each sample has an equal probability of being chosen.

As a result, there is no difference between collecting a basic random sample of size 1 and selecting one official at random.

04

Part (c) Step 1. List the possible samples (without replacement) of size 5 that can be obtained from the population of five officials. 

From a population of five officials, make a list of the potential size 5 samples without replacement.

Because there are five officials, there is only one sample in which the size 5 sample is available,

Sample:- G, L, S, A, T

05

Part (d) Step 1. Difference between obtaining a simple random sample of size 5 and taking a census of the five officials.

Part (C) shows that for the given population, there is only one sample of size 5 (without replacement).

Furthermore, each sample has an equal probability of being chosen.

As a result, there is no difference between taking a census of the five officials and obtaining a simple random sample of size 5.

Lifetimes of Flashlight Batteries.Two different options are under consideration for comparing the lifetimes of four brands of flashlight battery, using 20 flashlights.

(a) One option is to randomly divide 20 flashlights into four groups of 5 flashlights each and then randomly assign each group to use a different brand of battery. Would this statistical design be a completely randomized design or a randomized block design? Explain your answer.

(b) Another option is to use 20 flashlights - five different brands of 4 flashlights-each and randomly assign the 4 flashlights of each sign be a completely randomized design or a randomized block design? Explain your answer.

University Parking Facilities. During one year, a university wanted to gauge the sentiment of the people using the university's parking facilities. Each of the 8493 people that used the parking facilities had a sticker with a unique number between 1 and 8493. The university committee on parking decided to sample 30 users of the parking facilities and obtain their views on those facilities. The committee selected a number at random between 1 and 283 and got the number 10. The people interviewed were the ones whose stickers had numbers 10, 293, 576, ..., 8217. What type of sampling design was used by the university committee on parking? Explain your answer.
