  A research wants to take a simple random sample of about 10 of the factory workers at two different factories to study the number of hours worked per week. Factory A has approximately 10,000 employees and Factory B has about 25,000 employees. Which of the following statements is correct if Factory A and Factory B come from the same population?
 

  a.The sampling variability will be higher for Factory A than for Factory B.
  b.The average number of hours must be known to make a statement about the sampling variability.
  c.The sampling variability will be lower for Factory A than for Factory B.
  d.The sampling variability will be the same for both Factory A and Factory B.

Question 2


  Which of the following is true with respect to the sampling distribution of sample means?
 

  a.If all possible random samples, each of size n, are taken from any population with mean and standard deviation , the sampling distribution of the sample mean will have a mean equal to and a standard deviation equal to .
  b.Only if the sampled population has a normal distribution then all possible random samples, each of size n, will also have a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation . The sampling distribution of the sample mean will have a mean equal to and a standard deviation equal to . This is not true if the population is not normally distributed.
  c.If all possible random samples, each of size n, are taken from any population with mean and standard deviation , the sampling distribution of the sample mean will have a mean equal to and a standard deviation equal to .
  d.If all possible random samples, each of size n, are taken from any population with mean and standard deviation , the sampling distribution of the sample mean will have a mean equal to and a standard deviation equal to .

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

A cataract is a clouding of the eyes' natural lens. As we age, some clouding of the lens may occur. The first sign of a cataract is usually blurry vision. Although glasses and other visual aids may at first help a person with cataracts, surgery may become inevitable. Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision, and it is the most frequently performed surgery in the United States.

Did you know?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
