(c) A local Christchurch organisation wants to find out how
people living in Christ- church feel about the Christchurch City
Council’s performance. The organi- sation plans to collect
responses by surveying people in the central city and several
shopping malls throughout Christchurch. Describe the advantages and
disadvantages of using this...
From each description, identify or infer the target population,
the sampling frame, the unit of analysis, and the type of sample.
Discuss whether the sampling strategy will allow the researcher to
form inferences about the target population based on the
sample.
Problem: To study factors related to a diagnosis of depression
in elderly individuals. Sample: A random selection of 150 of the
300 residents diagnosed with depression in one year while in a
particular geriatric facility, and 340 randomly selected...
A sample that reflects the population accurately is called a
Sampling Frame
Population
Representative Sample
Sample Bias
If generalization to population is needed, which sampling method
should be used?
Random Sampling
Quota Sampling
Convenience Sampling
Purposive Sampling
involves assigning numbers to answers so that they can be
grouped into categories
Sampling
Recording
Coding
Editing
The list of individuals from which a sample is actually selected
is called the sampling frame. Ideally, the sampling frame should
list every individual in the population, but in practice this is
often difficult. A sampling frame that leaves out part of the
population is a common source of undercoverage. In the following
questions select all choices that apply; to receive credit for the
question you must select all the correct choices and only the
correct choices.

Given a population in which p = 0.6 and a random sample from
this population of size 100, find
a. the mean of the sampling distribution (for this
proportion)
b. the standard deviation of the sampling distribution (for this
proportion)
c. ?(?̂≤ 0.58) =
d. ?(?̂≥ 0.65) =
e. ?(0.58 ≤ ?̂ ≤ 0.65) =
A sample of 44 observations is selected from one population with
a population standard deviation of 3.1. The sample mean is 101.0. A
sample of 56 observations is selected from a second population with
a population standard deviation of 5.0. The sample mean is 99.5.

A sample of 65 observations is selected from one population with
a population standard deviation of 0.75. The sample mean is 2.67. A
sample of 50 observations is selected from a second population with
a population standard deviation of 0.66. The sample mean is 2.59/

A sample of 37 observations is selected from one population with
a population standard deviation of 4.0. The sample mean is 100.5. A
sample of 56 observations is selected from a second population with

a sample of 245 observations is selected from a normal
population for which the population standard deviation is known to
be 25. the sample mean is 20. determine the standard error of the
mean. determine the 90% confidence interval for the population
mean.
A sample of 22 observations is selected from a normal population
for which the population standard deviation is known to be 8. The
sample mean is 27.
a. Determine the standard error of the mean.
(Round the final answer to 3 decimal places.)
The standard error of the mean is.
b. Explain why we can use formula (8–1) to
determine the 90% confidence interval, even though the sample size
is less than 30.
