Chapter 7: Problem 13

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.

Short Answer

Expert verified
Assign a unique number between 1 to 30 to each student. Start selecting students based on the random number table. Continue process until we have selected 10 students. If a number above 30 or a repeat number comes, ignore it and move onto the next until 10 unique students are selected.

Step by step solution

01

Number the students

List all the 30 students. Give each of them a unique number between 1 and 30. It can be done on the register or the class list you have, as long as each student has a unique number assigned.
02

Initiate the random number table

Use a pre-constructed table of random numbers. These are readily available both online and in many statistical textbooks. Note that every sequence of two digits between 00 and 99 is equally likely to appear.
03

Determine the random numbers

Go through the table of random numbers, starting from the first row and column (unless specified otherwise). If a number between 01 and 30 appears, select the corresponding student.
04

Continue the process

Continue moving through the table until you have selected 10 unique students. Do not repeat any students, even if their number appears more than once. If a number appears that was already selected or is over 30, skip it and move to the next number.
05

Complete the selection

Stop as soon as 10 unique students have been selected. Those 10 students form your random sample.

Samuel Morse suggested in the nineteenth century that the letter "t" made up \(9 \%\) of the English language. Assume this is still correct. A random sample of 1000 letters is taken from a randomly selected, large book and the t's are counted. a. What value should we expect for our sample percentage of t's? b. Calculate the standard error. c. Use your answers to fill in the blanks: We expect \(\quad \%\) t's, give or take \(\%\)

a. If a rifleman's gunsight is adjusted incorrectly, he might shoot bullets consistently close to 2 feet left of the bull's-eye target. Draw a sketch of the target with the bullet holes. Does this show lack of precision or bias? b. Draw a second sketch of the target if the shots are both unbiased and precise (have little variation). The rifleman's aim is not perfect, so your sketches should show more than one bullet hole.

A true/false test has 40 questions. A passing grade is \(60 \%\) or more correct answers. a. What is the probability that a person will guess correctly on one true/ false question? b. What is the probability that a person will guess incorrectly on one question? c. Find the approximate probability that a person who is just guessing will pass the test. d. If a similar test were given with multiple-choice questions with four choices for each question, would the approximate probability of passing the test by guessing be higher or lower than the approximate probability of passing the true/false test? Why?

In a die roll, 3 and 6 are multiples of 3 and \(1,2,4\), and 5 are not multiples of \(3 .\) Consider 90 rolls of a die on a random basis. a. From how many outcomes of the 90 rolls would you expect to get multiples of 3 , on average? b. If you actually counted, would you get exactly the number you predicted in part a? Explain.

A population of college students is taking an advanced math class. In the class are three juniors and two seniors. Using numbers 1,2, and 3 to represent juniors and 4 and 5 to represent seniors, sample without replacement. Draw a sample of two people four times (once in each of parts a, b, c. and d), and then fill in the following table.
