Table 1.28 Researcher B

22. Suppose that the first researcher conducted his survey by randomly choosing one state in the
nation and then randomly picking 40 patients from that state. What sampling method would that
researcher have used?

Stratified method.

80. Fifty part-time students were asked how many courses they were taking this term. The
(incomplete) results are shown below:

# of Courses Frequency Relative Frequency Cumulative Relative

Frequency

1 30 0.6 0.6

2 15 0.3 0.6+0.3=0.9

3 50 - (30-15)= 5 0.1 0.90+ 0.10= 1.00

Table 1.33 Part-time Student Course Loads

A)Fill in the blanks in Table 1.33.

B)What percent of students take exactly two courses?
C) What percent of students take one or two courses?
b) 30%
C) 90%

a) Row 20 needs a frequency 2 and row 15 needs a frequency 2.

b) The interpretation of this statement is using 47% as a relative frequency.
