a. If a rifleman's gunsight is adjusted correctly but he has shaky arms, the bullets might be scattered widely around the bull's-eye target. Draw a sketch of the target with the bullet holes. Does this show variation (lack of precision) or bias? b. Draw a second sketch of the target if the shots are unbiased and have precision (little variation). The rifleman's aim is not perfect, so your sketches should show more than one bullet hole.
Assume your class has 30 students and you want a random sample of 10 of them. Describe how to randomly select 10 people from your class using the random number table.
Suppose you want to estimate the mean weight of all the people in your locality. You set up a table outside a park asking for volunteers to tell you their weights. Do you think you would get a representative sample? Why or why not?
Explain the difference between a parameter and a statistic.
A survey was conducted to ask whether tax benefits for senior citizens should be continued or stopped. Only clubs were visited to collect data. Do you think this would introduce bias? Explain.
