Immunization of Schoolchildren. In the article, "Reasons for Non - uptake of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Catch Up Immunisation in a Measles Epidemic and Side Effects of the Vaccine" (British Medical Journal,Vol. 310, pp. 1629-1632), R. Roberts et al . discussed a follow-up survey to examine why almost 10,000 children, ages 11-15, whose records showed no previous immunization were not immunized. In the survey, 10 of the 46 schools participating in the immunization campaign were randomly chosen and then the parents of all the nonimmunized children at the 10 selected schools were sent a questionnaire. What type of sampling design was used by these authors in their survey? Explain your answer.
Peanut Allergies. In the article " Food Allergy Advice May Be Peanuts " (Science News, Vol . 174, No. 12, pp . 8-9), N. Seppa reports that early exposure to peanuts seems to lessen the risk of nut allergy. Of 4000 Jewish children sampled in Britain, 1.85 % had peanut allergies; and of 4600 Jewish children sampled in Israel, where early peanut consumption is more common, 0.17 % had peanut allergies. The researcher chose Jewish children in both countries to limit genetic differences between groups.
(a) Is this study descriptive or inferential?
(b) Is this study observational or experimental?
In a designed experiment, there is one factor with four levels. How many treatments are there?
In each of Exercises 1.55-1.58, fill in the blank (s).
Systematic random sampling is easier to execute than simple random sampling and usually provides comparable results. The exception is the presence of some kind of in the listing of the members of the population.
Explain two ways in which descriptive statistics and inferential statistics are interrelated.
