Suppose we wish to do a nutritional survey in order to estimate theaverage amount of fiber consumed by people in a certain city. In order toachieve the objective of study, we should select a sample from the 800population of families in the city.(i)Explain why we should select a sample instead of involving allpeople in the city?(ii)Indicate the sampling frame and sampling unit in this study.(iii)Recommend the suitable sampling techniques that can be used inthis study.

Given : a) We should select a sample because : Surveying the whole population is a very costly…

Answered: Suppose we wish to do a nutritional…

A company has been rating television programs for more than 60 years. It uses several sampling procedures, but its main one is to track the viewing patterns of 20,000 households. These contain more than 45,000 people and are chosen to form a cross-section of the overall population. The households represent various locations, ethnic groups, and income brackets. The data gathered from the sample of 20,000 households are used to draw inferences about the population of all households in the United States. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. What strata are used in the sample? Choose the correct answer below. A. The various locations, ethnic groups, and income brackets that are represented B. The various sampling procedures and viewing patterns C. The number of households and people that are chosen D. The television ratings Why is it important to have a stratified sample for these ratings? Choose the correct answer below. A. Stratified…

A university dean is interested in determining the proportion of students who recieve some sor of financial aid. Rather than examine the records for all students, the dean randomly selects 200 students and finds that 118 of them are receiving financial aid. If the dean wanted to estimate the proportion of all students receiving financial aid to within 4% with 90% reliabilty, how many students would need to be sampled?

A quality control specialist took a 20-sized random sample from a 100-sized batch and analyzed it and adopted a double-tier sampling scheme as follows: If all units in the studied sample are accurate, the batch will be accepted. If the total number of defects in the sample is more than 2, the party will be rejected. If the number of defects in the analyzed sample is 1 or 2, the goods from the first sample are removed from the lot without returning them back to the lot.A second sample with a size of 15 is chosen. If the total number of defects in the first and second samples examined is 2 or less than 2, the party will be accepted, in the other case the party will be rejected. Using the hypergeometric distribution for acceptable quality level (AQL) 0.05 according to the given double-layer sampling plan; a. Find the probability that the batch is rejected after the first sample.b. Calculate the producer risk.
