Chapter 7 Sampling and Sampling Distributions

1) Bias refers to the tendency of a sample statistic to systematically over-or underestimate a


population parameter.

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: When the information from a sample is not typical of information in the population
in a systematic way, we say that bias has occurred.

population parameter.

for the sample.

5) Social-desirability bias refers to systematic difference between a group's "socially acceptable"


responses to a survey or poll and this group's ultimate choice.

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Social-desirability bias refers to systematic difference between a group's "socially
acceptable" responses to a survey or poll and this group's ultimate choice. This is used as one
explanation of the polling missteps that occurred in the 2016 election between Donald Trump
and Hillary Clinton. Voters might have provided incorrect answers to a survey or poll because
they thought others would look unfavorably on their ultimate choices.

7) In stratified random sampling, the population is first divided up into mutually exclusive and
collectively exhaustive groups, called strata. A stratified sample includes randomly selected
observations from each stratum, which are proportional to the stratum's size.

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: With stratified random sampling, the population is divided into groups based on
one or more classification criteria. Then simple random samples are drawn from each group in
sizes proportional to the relative size of each group in the population.

exclusive and collectively exhaustive groups, called clusters. A cluster sample includes
observations from randomly selected clusters. Instead of taking a subset from each cluster, the
entire cluster is selected as part of the sample.

48) Suppose that, on average, electricians earn approximately µ = $54,000 per year in the United
States. Assume that the distribution for electricians' yearly earnings is normally distributed and
that the standard deviation is σ = $12,000.

Given a sample of four electricians, what is the standard deviation for the sampling distribution
of the sample mean?
A) 6,000
B) 12,000
C) 36,000
D) 54,000

Answer: A
Explanation: The standard deviation of the sample mean is referred as the standard error of the
sample mean, and it is computed as ( ) = . If the population is not normally distributed, then

the sample size must be n ≥ 30 for the sampling distribution of the sample mean to be normally
distributed.

________.
A) the underlying population is normal
B) the sample size n ≥ 30
C) the standard deviation of the population is known
D) both the underlying population is normal and the sample size n ≥ 30 are correct

Answer: B
Explanation: For any sample size n, the sampling distribution of is normal if the population X
from which the sample is drawn is normally distributed. There is no need for the central limit
theorem in these instances. When the underlying distribution is unknown and n ≥ 30, the central

73) A university administrator expects that 25% of students in a core course will receive an A.
He looks at the grades assigned to 60 students.

The probability that the proportion of students who receive an A is between 0.20 and 0.35 is
A) 0.1867.
B) 0.7776.
C) 0.8133.
D) 0.9633.

Answer: B
Explanation: If is normal, we can transform it into a standard normal random variable as

Z= , and any value of on has a corresponding value z on Z given by

Z= . Compute P(0.20 ≤ ≤ 0.35).

Note that P(z1 ≤ Z ≤ z2) = P(Z ≤ z2) – P(Z ≤ z1). Use z table.

The appropriate Excel function is =NORM.DIST(0.35,0.25,SQRT(0.25*(1-0.25)/60),TRUE)-


NORM.DIST(0.2,0.25,SQRT(0.25*(1-0.25)/60),TRUE) = 0.7776
Difficulty: 3 Hard

74) A university administrator expects that 25% of students in a core course will receive an A.
He looks at the grades assigned to 60 students.

The probability that the proportion of students who receive an A is not between 0.20 and 0.30 is
________.
A) 0.1867
B) 0.3711
C) 0.6266
D) 0.8133

Answer: B
Explanation: If is normal, we can transform it into a standard normal random variable as

Z= , and any value of on has a corresponding value z on Z given by

Z= . Compute P( < 0.20) + P( > 0.30).

Note that P(Z > z) = 1 – P(Z ≤ z). Use z table.

The appropriate Excel function is =1-(NORM.DIST(0.3,0.25,SQRT(0.25*(1-0.25)/60),TRUE)-


NORM.DIST(0.2,0.25,SQRT(0.25*(1-0.25)/60),TRUE)) = 0.3711

75) The labor force participation rate is the number of people in the labor force divided by the
number of people in the country who are of working age and not institutionalized. The BLS
reported in February 2012 that the labor force participation rate in the United States was 63.7%
(Calculatedrisk.com). A marketing company asks 120 working-age people if they either have a
job or are looking for a job, or, in other words, whether they are in the labor force.

What are the expected value and the standard error for a labor participation rate in the company's
sample?
A) 0.637 and 0.0019
B) 0.637 and 0.0439
C) 76.44 and 0.0019
D) 76.44 and 0.0439

Answer: B
Explanation: The expected value of is computed as E( ) = p. The standard error of is

computed as se( ) = .

E( ) = 0.637; SE( ) =SQRT(0.637*(1-0.637)/120) = 0.0439

(Calculatedrisk.com). A marketing company asks 120 working-age people if they either have a
job or are looking for a job, or, in other words, whether they are in the labor force.

For the company's sample, the probability that the proportion of people who are in the labor
force is greater than 0.65 is ________.
A) 0.1179
B) 0.3000
C) 0.3836
D) 0.6179

Answer: C
Explanation: If is normal, we can transform it into a standard normal random variable as

Z= , and any value of on has a corresponding value z on Z given by

Z= . Compute P( > 0.65).

Note that P(Z > z) = 1 – P(Z ≤ z). Use z table.

The appropriate Excel function is =1-NORM.DIST(0.65,0.637,SQRT(0.637*(1-
