Identify the sampling techniques used, and discuss potential sources of bias (if any). Assume the population of interest is the student body at a university. Questioning students as they leave an academic building, a researcher asks 341 students about their eating habits.

1. What type of sampling is used?

a. Systematic sampling is used, because students are selected from a list, with a fixed interval between students on the list.
b. Cluster sampling is used because students are divided into groups, groups are chosen at random, and every student in one of those groups is sampled.
c. Simple random sampling is used because students are chosen at random.
d. Stratified sampling is used because students are divided into groups, and students are chosen at random from these groups.
e. Convenience sampling is used because students are chosen due to convenience of location.

2. What potential sources of bias are present if any. Select all that apply.

a. University students may not be representative of all people in their age group.
b. The sample only consists of members of the population that are easy to get. These members may not be representative of the population.
c. Because of the personal nature of the question, students may not answer honestly.
d. There are no potential sources of bias.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1.  e. Convenience sampling is used because students are chosen due to convenience of location.

2. a. University students may not be representative of all people in their age group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Samples may be classified as:

Convenient: Sample drawn from a conveniently available pool.

Random: Basically, put all the options into a hat and drawn some of them.

Systematic: Every kth element is taken. For example, you want to survey something on the street, you interview every 5th person, for example.

Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.

Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. However, then only some elements of the group are surveyed.

Questioning students as they leave an academic building, a researcher asks 341 students about their eating habits.

Students sampled as they leave the build, which is convenience, in this case convenience of location, which means that the correct answer to question 1 is given by option e.

2. What potential sources of bias are present if any. Select all that apply.

Only members of one group are asked(university students), and this may not be representative of the rest of the population, which means that the correct answer to question 2 is given by option a.

Describe five ways you could increase the nutritional value of classical and contemporary cakes, pastries and bread or their filling?

Answers

Answer:

Find the definitions and points below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Food Handling refers to any of the stages in the preparation, storage, transportation, packaging, and delivery of food.

2. Utensils are those vessels and tools that are used to carry, cut, stir, and store items and ingredients required in food preparation.

3.  Three quality points for dairy and eggs which indicate quality and freshness are;

a. Smell: A decaying and pungent smell indicates a lack of quality.

b. Color: An abnormal color with physical signs of rottenness shows a lack of quality.

c. The sinking test is used to check for the freshness of eggs. If an egg sinks when put in a glass of water, it is a sign of freshness. If it floats, it is an indication of decay.

4. Three quality points for dry goods that indicate quality and freshness:

Moisture: The presence of moisture in dry food shows a lack of quality.

Weight: Heaviness might be an indication that one coconut is better than another.

Texture: A dry food that is sticky might indicate a lack of freshness. Smoothness, crunchiness, hardness, and toughness are other qualities to look out for.

5. Five ways I could increase the nutritional value of pastries include

1. Using fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients free from contamination will guarantee that foods with good nutritional values are produced.

2. Preparing them in a hygienic environment: A hygienic environment will prevent food poisoning by bacteria and other contaminants.

3. Using proper measurements: When the right measurements are used in the preparation of pastries a balanced snack is produced.

4. Good preservation techniques: The right preservation techniques will prevent food spoilage.

5. Good packaging and wrapping: These will prevent exposure of the food to moisture, rodents, and other unwanted factors. Thus, the nutritional value is preserved.

O ,
10, 8, 6, 4, 2, ...

Answers

Answer:

10, 8, 6, 4, 2, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you were given the recursive rule. The recursive rule consists of an equation that represents how the former term is modified to get the current term and the first term of the sequence. F(1) means the first term; in this case, the first term is 10. The equation in the rule shows that 2 is subtracted from the last term to get the current term. This means that the common difference is -2 and each term decreases by 2. Therefore, the last option, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, ..., is correct.

1) 0.6838
2) 20.3738
3) 0.3162
4) - 11.6695
5) 1.2313

Answers

Answer:

1) 0.6838

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

35.45% of small businesses experience cash flow problems in their first 5 years.

This means that [tex]p = 0.3545[/tex]

Sample of 530 businesses

This means that [tex]n = 530[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.3545[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.3545(1-0.3545)}{530}} = 0.0208[/tex]

What is the probability that between 34.2% and 39.03% of the businesses have experienced cash flow problems?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 0.3903 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 0.342.

X = 0.3903

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.3903 - 0.3545}{0.0208}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.72[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.72[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9573

X = 0.342

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.342 - 0.3545}{0.0208}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.6[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.6[/tex] has a p-value of 0.27425

0.9573 - 0.2743 = 0.683

With a little bit of rounding, 0.6838, so option 1) is the answer.

Answers

Answer:

0.0264 = 2.64% probability that the proportion of wrong numbers in a sample of 448 phone calls would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

A telephone exchange operator assumes that 9% of the phone calls are wrong numbers.

This means that [tex]p = 0.09[/tex]

Sample of 448

This means that [tex]n = 448[/tex]

Mean and standard deviation:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.09[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.09*0.91}{448}} = 0.0135[/tex]

What is the probability that the proportion of wrong numbers in a sample of 448 phone calls would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%?

More than 9% + 3% = 12 or less than 9% - 3% = 6%. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, these probabilities are the same, so we find one of them and multiply by 2.

Probability it is less than 6%

P-value of Z when X = 0.06. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

By the Central Limit Theorem

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{0.06 - 0.09}{0.0135}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.22[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.22[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0132

2*0.0132 = 0.0264

0.0264 = 2.64% probability that the proportion of wrong numbers in a sample of 448 phone calls would differ from the population proportion by more than 3%
