Sampling the forest To gather data on a 1200-acre pine forest in Louisiana, the U.S. Forest Service laid a grid of 1410 equally spaced circular plots over a map

of the forest. A ground survey visited a sample of 10% of these plots.12

(a) Explain how you would use technology or Table D to choose an SRS of 141 plots. Your description should be clear enough for a classmate to obtain your results.

(b) Use your method from (a) to choose the first 3 plots.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) The three-phase starter is the overload relay that gets connected with the three lines.

Part (b) The plot 1387,629 and 908 are selected.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

A number of equally spaced circular plots = 1410

The sample size, 14100.1=141

02

Part (a) Step 2: Concept

A simple random sample (SRS) of size is made up of n people chosen from the population with an equal chance of being the sample that is actually chosen.

03

Part (a) Step 3: Explanation

A 10% sample of these plots was visited during a ground survey."

TABLE D- The unique number between 1 and 1410 is taken into account. The row is chosen from table D. The number 1 and 1410 are included in the four digits. The appropriate plot is chosen or moved to the next four digits. For 141 values, the plot is repeated. For using three phase motor starters, the line or wiring diagram is developed based on which the line gets overloaded the relays. At overload relays with the coil at the control circuit, the contact will be present. As a result, the coil and control circuit will remain connected. Low voltage protection emerges in a three-wire system. It's connected to the starter that controls everything. As a result, the voltage value will not be selected automatically. Overload relays are used to safeguard circuits from excessive current. They are joined in three lines with three phase starters.

04

Part (b) Step 1:Calculation

The seven distinct numbers are chosen from 1 to 1410

Starting at number 122 1387381598950629090873592751868713695761

The first four digits of any number with a 7 between 1 and 1410 are taken. The plot can either be picked or moved to the following four digits. 1387selectplot13873815Ignore0629Selectplot6290908Selectplot908

As a result, plots 1387,629, and 908 are chosen.

The T183/T184 CALCULATOR is used with the operations listed below: randInt is one of the commands that should be used (1,1410,3) The bottom and upper margins are represented by the first and second numbers. The values should be somewhere in the middle.

The third number is included in the total number of required selections.

PRB determines the MATH type by using randInt.

The plot 1387,629 and 908 are selected.

Explain it to the congresswoman You are on the staff of a member of Congress who is considering a bill that would provide government-sponsored insurance for nursing-home care. You report that 1128 letters have been received on the issue, of which 871 oppose the legislation. 鈥淚鈥檓 surprised that most of my constituents oppose the bill. I thought it would be quite popular,鈥 says the congresswoman. Are you convinced that a majority of the voters oppose the bill? How would you explain the statistical issue to the congresswoman?

Go Blue! Michigan Stadium, also known as 鈥淭he Big House,鈥 seats over 100,000 fans for a football game. The University of Michigan athletic department plans to conduct a survey about concessions that are sold during games. Tickets are most expensive for seats near the field and on the sideline. The cheapest seats are high up in the end zones (where one of the authors sat as a student). A map of the stadium is shown.100,000

(a) The athletic department is considering a stratified random sample. What would you recommend as the strata? Why?

(b) Explain why a cluster sample might be easier to obtain. What would you recommend for the clusters? Why?

Effects of TV advertising Figure 4.3displays the six treatments for a two-factor experiment on TV advertising. Suppose we have 150students who are willing to serve as subjects. Describe how you would randomly assign the subjects to the treatments

(a) using slips of paper.

(b) using Table D.

(c) using technology.

Technology for teaching statistics The Brigham Young University (BYU) statistics department is performing experiments to compare teaching methods. Response variables include students鈥 final-exam scores and a measure of their attitude toward statistics. One study compares two levels of technology for large

lectures: standard (overhead projectors and chalk) and multimedia. There are eight lecture sections of a basic statistics course at BYU, each with about 200students. There are four instructors, each of whom teaches two sections. Suppose the sections and lecturers are as follows:

(a) Suppose we randomly assign two lecturers to use standard technology in their sections and the other two lecturers to use multimedia technology. Explain how this could lead to confounding.

(b) Describe a better design for this experiment.

Chocolate and happy babies A University of Helsinki (Finland) study wanted to determine if chocolate consumption during pregnancy had an effect on infant temperament at age of 6 months. Researchers began by asking 305 healthy pregnant women to report their chocolate consumption. Six months after birth, the researchers asked mothers to rate their infants鈥 temperament, including smiling, laughter, and fear. The babies born to women who had been eating chocolate daily during pregnancy were found to be more active and 鈥減ositively reactive鈥濃攁 measure that the investigators said encompasses traits like smiling and laughter.

(a) Was this an observational study or an experiment? Justify your answer.

(b) What are the explanatory and response variables?

(c) Does this study show that eating chocolate regularly during pregnancy helps produce infants with a good temperament? Explain.
