Question
Three randomly selected households are surveyed. The numbers of people in the households are 11, 33, and 88.
Assume thatsamples of size nequals=2
are randomly selected with replacement from the population of
Assume that
are randomly selected with replacement from the population of
11, 33, and 88.
Listed below are the nine different samples. Complete parts (a) through (c).a. Find the median of each of the nine samples, then summarize the sampling distribution of the medians in the format of a table representing the probability distribution of the distinct median values.
b. Compare the population median to the mean of the sample medians. Choose the correct answer below.
The population median is not equal to the mean of the sample medians (it is also not half or double the mean of the sample medians).
The population median is equal to double the mean of the sample medians.
The population median is equal to the mean of the sample medians.
The population median is equal to half of the mean of the sample medians.
c. Do the sample medians target the value of the population median? In general, do sample medians make good estimators of population medians? Why or why not?
The sample medians do not target the population median, so sample medians make good estimators of population medians.
The sample medians target the population median, so sample medians make good estimators of population medians.
The sample medians target the population median, so sample medians do not make good estimators of population medians.
The sample medians do not target the population median, so sample medians do not make good estimators of population medians.

- Race organizers want to survey the participating runners on the quality of the running course. Which of the following uses systematic random sampling? Select the first 15 finishers and the last 15 finishers to take the survey. Randomly select 15% of the male participants and 15% of the female participants. Select the 5th finisher (with the number 5 being randomly chosen) to survey, then survey every 15th finisher after that. Sort all of the runners' names alphabetically, then randomly choose 2 letters and survey all participants whose last name begins with one of those letters.arrow_forwardfind the p value and explain how it is done.arrow_forwardSymbol Company Price ($) Yield AT&T 33.59 5.48% VZ Verizon 46.78 4.70% CVX Chevron 112.18 3.82% MCD McDonald's 93.70 3.63% PFE Pfizer 31.15 3.60% GE General Electric 25.27 3.48% MRK Merck 56.79 3.17% САТ Caterpillar 91.53 3.06% Хом ExxonMobil 92.45 2.99% ко Соса-Cola 42.22 2.89% If you selected two of these stocks at random, what is the probability that both the stocks in your selection had yields of 3.25% or more?
