In an effort to gauge national public opinion, a national basketball news website places a poll on its homepage, asking participants whether their favorite sport is football, basketball, baseball, hockey, or soccer. Is this an appropriate sampling method? No. This convenience sample is very biased and is highly unlikely to be representative of national public opinion. Yes. This convenience sample is appropriate for the limited resources of a news website and is likely to be representative of the population. Yes. This simple random sample is ideal and will be representative of the population. No. This systematic sample is very biased and is highly unlikely to be representative of national public opinion.

Four airplanes carrying a total of 400 passengersarrive at the detroit airport. the airplanes carry, respectively,50, 80, 110, and 160 passengers.a) one of the 400 passengers is selected uniformly at random.let x denote the number of passengers that were on theairplane carrying the randomly selected passenger. find var(x)for x as given in the problemb) one of the 4 airplane drivers is also selected uniformly atrandom. let y denote the number of passengers on the chosen driver’s airplane. find var(y) for y as given in the problem

In priyas math class there are 10 boys and 15 girls. what is the ratio of boys to girls in priyas math class? express your answer as a decimal

Each of the following data sets has a mean of x = 10. (i) 8 9 10 11 12 (ii) 7 9 10 11 13 (iii) 7 8 10 12 13 (a) without doing any computations, order the data sets according to increasing value of standard deviations. (i), (iii), (ii) (ii), (i), (iii) (iii), (i), (ii) (iii), (ii), (i) (i), (ii), (iii) (ii), (iii), (i) (b) why do you expect the difference in standard deviations between data sets (i) and (ii) to be greater than the difference in standard deviations between data sets (ii) and (iii)? hint: consider how much the data in the respective sets differ from the mean. the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). the data change between data sets (ii) and (iii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (i) and (ii). the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) decreased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). none of the above
