Chapter 4: Q. 14 (page 237)

Sampling gravestones The local genealogical society in Coles County, Illinois, has compiled records on all 55,194gravestones in cemeteries in the county for the years 1825to 1985. Historians plan to use these records to learn about African Americans in Coles County鈥檚 history. They first choose an SRS of 395records to check their accuracy by visiting the actual gravestones.

a. Explain how you would use a random number generator to choose the SRS. Your description should be clear enough for a classmate to carry out your plan.

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

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. We'll use a simple structure to do an SRS once it's labelled this way. One number at a time will be drawn from the table supplied.

Formulation of a Research Design ,If the drawn random number is greater than 55914, we draw another random number until it is less than 55914.

b. we will select the first three five-digits numbers to find out the first three gravestones in the country. Thus, any first three five-digit numbers selected from the sample of 95gravestones from part (a) above is chosen.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1 : Given Information

We have to explain how would you use a random numbers generator to choose the SRS.

02

Part (a) Step 2 : Simplification

ToselectanSRS,
Let's call the first record 1, the second record 2, and so on until we reach 55914. We'll use a simple structure to do an SRS once it's labelled this way. One number at a time will be drawn from the table supplied.
Formulation of a Research Design ,If the drawn random number is greater than 55914, we draw another random number until it is less than 55914.
Also, if the same random number appears twice, we skip the second draw and draw a new random number unless we obtain a different random number than the ones we've already seen, ensuring that no two records appear in the sample. We repeat this process until we get 395unique record samples.
Start at row 137and draw the first five samples for this problem 53645,66812,61421,47836,12609,15373are the first few random numbers from row 137.
As a result, we choose the 53, 645th record for random number = 53645. We skip the numbers 66812and 61421because they are both greater than55914. For 47836,12609, and 15373, we choose the 47836th, 12609th, and15373rd records, respectively.
We have four records thus far. One more is required. 98481,14592are the next two random numbers. We skip 98481and go straight to the 14592nd record. As a result, the five-person random sample is complete. This procedure should be repeated until we have95 distinct sample points.
03

Part (b) Step 1 : Given Information

We have to use your method from part (a) to choose the first three gravestones

04

Part (b) Step 2 : Simplification

From the above part (a) the SRS of 95gravestones are selected using random numbers generator.

Thus, from the above 95gravestones we will select the first three five-digits numbers to find out the first three gravestones in the country. Thus, any first three five-digit numbers selected from the sample of 95gravestones from part (a) above is chosen.

For example we consider that, 53645,47836,12609are chosen from the sample of 95gravestones, if these were the first three five-digit numbers chosen from the sample.

Can texting make you healthier? Researchers randomly assigned 700Australian adults

to either receive usual health care or usual heath care plus automated text messages with

positive messages, such as 鈥淲alking is cheap. It can be done almost anywhere. All you

need is comfortable shoes and clothing.鈥� The group that received the text messages

showed a statistically significant increase in physical activity鈥渟tatistically significant鈥� in this context?

a. The results of this study are very important.

b. The results of this study should be generalized to all people.

c. The difference in physical activity for the two groups is greater than 0.

d. The difference in physical activity for the two groups is very large.

e. The difference in physical activity for the two groups is larger than the difference

that could be expected to happen by chance alone.

Tweet, tweet! What proportion of students at your school use Twitter? To find out, you survey a simple random sample of students from the school roster.

a. Will your sample result be exactly the same as the true population proportion? Explain your answer.

b. Which would be more likely to produce a sample result closer to the true population value: an SRS of 50students or an SRS of 100students? Explain your answer.

How is your room? A hotel has 30floors with 40rooms per floor. The rooms on one side of the hotel face the water, while rooms on the other side face a golf course. There is an extra charge for the rooms with a water view. The hotel manager wants to select 120rooms and survey the registered guest in each of the selected rooms about his or her overall satisfaction with the property.

a. Describe how to obtain a sample of 120rooms using stratified random sampling. Explain your choice of strata and why this method might be preferred to simple random sampling.

b. Describe how to obtain a sample of 120rooms using cluster sampling. Explain your choice of clusters and why this method might be preferred to simple random sampling.

Sealing your teeth- Many children have their molars sealed to help prevent cavities. In an experiment, 120children aged6鈥�8were randomly assigned to a control group, a group in which sealant was applied and reapplied periodically for 36months, and a group in which fluoride varnish was applied and reapplied periodically for 42months. After 9years, the percent of initially healthy molars with cavities was calculated for each group. Identify the experimental units and the treatments.

A maker of fabric for clothing is setting up a new line to 鈥渇inish鈥� the raw fabric. The line will use either metal rollers or natural-bristle rollers to raise the surface of the fabric; a dyeing-cycle time of either 30or40minutes; and a temperature of either 150掳Cor175掳C. Three specimens of fabric will be subjected to each treatment and scored for quality.

a. List the factors in this experiment and state how many levels each factor has.

b. If the researchers used every possible combination to form the treatments, how many

treatments were included in the experiment?

c. List two of the treatments.
