Apoll is being conducted at a mall nothingto obtain a sample of the population of an entire country. what is the frame for this type of​ sampling? who would be excluded from the survey and how might this affect the results of the​ survey? what is the frame for this type of​ sampling? a. the frame is people who need new clothes. b. the frame is people who shop at the mall. c. the frame is people who like to shop. d. the frame is the entire population of the country. who would be excluded from the survey and how might this affect the results of the​ survey? a. any person that does not need new clothes is excluded. this could result in sampling bias due to undercoverage. b. any person who does not shop at the mall is excluded. this could result in sampling bias due to undercoverage. c. any person who does not shop at the mall is excluded. this could result in nonresponse bias due to people not participating in the poll. d. there is nobody that is being excluded from the survey.

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.

What is the area of the shaded sector?
