Which kind of sampling plan was used in each of the following situation? Would the plan result in an unbiased sample? - the manager of large shopping mall are trying to decide whether to add another information booth to the concourse. They hire a student to stand by one door and ask the next 100 people who enter the mall wether they would like to see another information booth added to the mall and If so where?

People end up tossing 12% of what they buy at the grocery store. Assume this is the true population proportion and that you plan to take a sample survey of 540 grocery shoppers to further investigate their behavior. Show the sampling distribution of , the proportion of groceries thrown out by your sample respondents.
The president of Doerman Distributors, Inc., believes that 30% of the firm’s orders come from first-time customers. A random sample of 100 orders will be used to estimate the proportion of first-time customers. Assume that the president is correct and p = 0.30. What is the sampling distribution of for this study?
The Sunny Dale Bank monitors the time required to serve customers at the drive-through window becauseit is an important quality factor in competing with other banks in the city. After analyzing the data gathered inan extensive study of the window operation, bank management determined that the mean time to processa customer at the peak demand period is 5 minutes, with a standard deviation of 1.5 minutes. Managementwants to monitor the mean time to process a customer by periodically using a sample size of six customers. Assume that the process variability is in statistical control. Design an x-chart that has a type I error of5 percent. That is, set the control limits so that there is a 2.5 percent chance a sample result will fall below theLCL and a 2.5 percent chance that a sample result will fall above the UCL. After several weeks of sampling,two successive samples came in at 3.70 and 3.68 minutes, respectively. Is the customer service process instatistical control?
After a jail security scare, the Gallup organization surveyed 542 inmates about increased security measures at the jail. They found that 78% of these inmates were in favor of United States jails using full-body-scan imaging on inmates. Identify the sample and the population in this study. O The sample is the 542 American inmates who were surveyed and the population is all American inmates. o The sample is the 78% of inmates in favor of the full-body-scan-imaging and the population is the 542 surveyed American inmates. The sample is the 78% of inmates in favor of the full-body-scan imaging and the population is all American inmates in favor of the full-body-scan imaging. o The population is the 542 American inmates who were surveyed and the sample is all American inmates.
A sociologist was hired by a large city hospital to investigate the relationship between the number of unauthorized days that employees are absent per year and the distance (miles) between home and work for the employees. A sample of 10 employees was chosen, and the following data were collected. a. Develop a scatter chart for these data. Does a linear relationship appear reasonable? Explain. b. Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation that could be used to predict the number of days absent given the distance to work. What is the estimated regression model? c. What is the 99% confidence interval for the regression parameter 1? Based on this interval, what conclusion can you make about the hypotheses that the regression parameter 1 is equal to zero? d. What is the 99% confidence interval for the regression parameter 0? Based on this interval, what conclusion can you make about the hypotheses that the regression parameter 0 is equal to zero? e. How much of the variation in the sample values of number of days absent does the model you estimated in part (b) explain?
Many companies use a quality control technique called acceptance sampling to monitor incoming shipments of parts, raw materials, and so on. In the electronics industry, component parts are commonly shipped from suppliers in large lots. Inspection of a sample of n components can be viewed as the n trials of a binomial experiment. The outcome for each component tested (trial) will be that the component is classified as good or defective. Reynolds Electronics accepts a lot from a particular supplier if the defective components in the lot do not exceed 1%. Suppose a random sample of five items from a recent shipment is tested. Assume that 1% of the shipment is defective. Compute the probability that no items in the sample are defective. Assume that 1% of the shipment is defective. Compute the probability that exactly one item in the sample is defective. What is the probability of observing one or more defective items in the sample if 1% of the shipment is defective? Would you feel comfortable accepting the shipment if one item was found to be defective? Why or why not?
Graph the OC curves for the sampling plan described in Problem 58 for both manufacturers A and B. Problem 58 A maker of personal computers, Noname, purchases 64K DRAM chips from two different manufacturers, A and B. Noname uses the following sampling plan: A sample of 10 percent of the chips is drawn and the lot is rejected if two or more defective chips are discovered. The two manufacturers supply the chips in lots of 100 and 1,000, respectively. a. For each manufacturer, determine the true proportion of defectives in the lot that would result in 90 percent of the lots being accepted. You may use the Poisson approximation for your calculations. b. Would you say that this plan is fair?
An auditor is going to choose a sample of accounts receivable balances at year end to test and has determined the appropriate sampling interval to be 4 with a random start of the second balance in the list. Presented below are the first 10 accounts in the list (in order). Determine the first 2 account balances (including the random start) that will be sampled and tested using the sampling interval.

Sample Size Determination. Jule Phillips is examining the internal control of CowboyCompany and has identified the mathematical verification of sales invoices as an importantcontrol and decided to test this control. Based on a discussion with Cowboy’s management,Phillips determined that Cowboy Company’s employees were required to indicate their compliance with this control by writing their initials in an appropriate place on the invoice copy.Assume that Phillips established an acceptable risk of overreliance of 5 percent, anexpected population deviation rate of 3 percent, and a tolerable rate of deviation of 9 percent.Required:a. Using AICPA sample size tables, determine the appropriate sample size.b. Indicate how Phillips would assess the three parameters that are used to determine sample size (risk of overreliance, expected population deviation rate, and tolerable rate ofdeviation).c. Use the original parameters but now assume that Phillips is willing to increase the acceptable risk…
.Dan and Lily, two audit staff associates are discussing audit sampling while working on the audit of a major client. Dan is explaining to Lily the various audit sampling methods that he has seen being used by audit managers. Dan asks Lily if she has ever heard of the ratio method with respect to evaluating sample results. Lily replies that she has not, so they decide to ask their supervisor, Brad. What would be the best answer from Brad to appropriately answer this question
You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. A government agency provides the number of miles that residents of the 75 largest metropolitan areas travel per day in a car. Suppose that for a simple random sample of 50 City A residents the mean is 22.9 miles a day and the standard deviation is 8.7 miles a day, and for an independent simple random sample of 40 City B residents the mean is 18.6 miles a day and the standard deviation is 7.7 miles a day. (a) What is the point estimate of the difference between the mean number of miles that City A residents travel per day and the mean number of miles that City B residents travel per day? (Use City A − City B.) __________ mi/day
In performing a test of controls for ABC, Inc., the auditor wants to know whether Sales order are approved before goods are picked, packed and shipped to customers. The CPAs has stipulated a Tolerable Deviation Rate (TDR) of 8 percent with a Risk of Assessing Control Risk too low of 5 percent. The CPA also anticipates a deviation rate of 2%. What type of sampling plan should the auditor use for this test? Attribute sampling Monetary sampling
