A power company wants to inspect a sample of 10 power poles in the field for quality control
purposes. There are 200 sequentially numbered poles out in the field. Use TWO possible
sampling methods that could be used to obtain the 10 pole sample; explain how the sample is
to be taken using the sampling methods identified.

Expert Solution

Since the 200 poles are sequentially numbered, two appropriate sampling methods will be Simple random sampling and Systematic sampling.

Simple Random Sampling- A simple random sampling is one in which each unit of the population has an equal chance of being selected in the sample. In the given problem, this method can be used either by using a random no. table or by the lottery method. The latter will consist in creating chits of numbers of poles written on piece of paper and get them thoroughly shuffled then selecting a chit randomly out of those 200 chits. Repeating this for 10 times will constitute the sample.

Systematic Sampling: This method consists in first choosing a number randomly which called the random start and then select every kth unit from it in the sample where k= N/n, N denoting the population size and n denoting the sample size. In this problem, first we will choose our random start then we will choose every 20th unit from it as our sampled unit, since, in this problem we have k= 200/10 = 20. Repeating this for 20 times will get our sample completed.

1. A country club wants to inspect the effects of a new marketing campaign that attempts to get more people within the community to become members. In many communities, when people buy a house in the area, they receive a “Welcome Wagon” gift basket containing coupons to local restaurants. The idea of the marketing campaign is to include a free two month membership to the country club in the gift basket with the hope that once “new” residents try the...

Magnetic field strength decreases as you get farther from the poles. Does the flux through the face of the coil change as you move the magnet? Explain your reasoning. Why does the needle of the Galvanometer deflect when you bring a magnet in close to the coil? Is the deflection in accordance with Lenz's Law? Justify your answer in terms of Lenz's Law and your answer above.

Field application problem – A small manufacturing company wants to locate in Elk Grove. It will hook up to the city water supply, but needs to reduce the tap water pH to 5.5 for a particular production process. A titration test shows that 4 meq/L is needed to do this. The plant manager plans to feed 2.0 N acid into the water line. If the desired flow is 20 gpm, what flowrate of acid is needed? Answer: 0.04 gpm.

After rigorous field survey, the insurance company finds that the probability to have cancer is 10% on average. The company offers a fixed rate policy where the premium is $1,000. Reimbursement is $9,000, which is the amount of medical expense you must pay if you get cancer. Suppose there are two types of customers: heavy smoker, who has a probability of 15% of getting cancer. Nonsmoker, who has a probability of 5% of getting cancer. A) Assuming utility function is...

The cost of distrusting a perfume sample is $0.75 per unit. The company wants to distribute 30,000 units. If a sample recipient tries the perfume and converts to be a customer, he/she will buy on average of 5 units. The profit per unit is $4. 1) What is the recipient-to-customer conversion rate to break even? 2)If the target for the program to be successful is 10% gain over the break-even rate, how many customers have to convert after trying the...
