What is the law of large numbers?
As the sample size decreases, the relative frequency of outcomes gets closer to the theoretical probability of the outcome.As the sample size increases, the cumulative frequency of outcomes gets closer to the theoretical probability of the outcome. As the sample size increases, the relative frequency of outcomes gets closer to the theoretical probability of the outcome.As the sample size increases, the relative frequency of outcomes moves further from the theoretical probability of the outcome.
If you were using the relative frequency of an
It would be better to use 500 trials, because the law of large numbers would take effect.It would be better to use 100 trials, because the law of large numbers would take effect. It would be better to use 500 trials, because 100 trials is always too small.It would be better to use 100 trials, because 500 trials is always too big.

- Max would like to know whether there is community interest in having local musicians perform music in the park in the evenings during the summer. Max goes to the park for several evenings in a row and asks people entering the park whether they would like to hear music in the evening. Out of the 200 people he surveys, 58% respond favorably. This scenario is describing what type of sampling? (A) Simple random sampling (B) Volunteer sampling (C) Convenience sampling (D) Cluster sampling (E) Stratified samplingarrow_forwardThis is a Statistics problem. Please explain each step thoroughly. The problem I'm having issues with is shown below: Suppose you roll two ordinary dice. Calculate the expected value of their product.arrow_forwardSuppose that you would like to determine if the use of the newest Sweeney education intervention will improve students understanding of statistics better than the use of no intervention. In order to do this, you select two groups of students at random from students who need to take Statistics: a group given the intervention and another group that is given the standard statistics class. At the end of the course, the students were given an exam and the exam scores were compared. Group 1: Students given the interventionGroup 2: Students in the standard Statistics class Use this information to answer the following questions:a. What test should you run and why?b. What is the null hypothesis? What is the alternative hypothesis?c. What requirements would have to be met to insure that you could run the test?arrow_forward
- Step by steparrow_forwardAccording to a study conducted by a statistical organization, the proportion of people who are satisfied with the way things are going in their lives is 0.78. Suppose that a random sample of 100 people is obtained. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. different people feel differently regarding their satisfaction. D. The sample proportion p is a random variable because the value of p represents a random person included in the sample. The variability is due to the fact that people may not be responding to the question truthfully. (c) Describe the sampling distribution of p, the proportion of people who are satisfied with the way things are going in their life. Be sure to verify the model requirements. Since the sample size is no more than 5% of the population size and np(1 - p) = 17.16 2 10, the distribution of p is approximately normal with Ha = 0.780 and On = 0.041 . (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

State whether this is sampling or non-sampling error, and explain why you chose that answer. The researcher randomly selects 400 college students from around the country and asks them if they are Democrats or Republicans. The researcher finds that 38% of the students are Democrats, when the actual percentage is 41%. The researcher sets up a table in the cafeteria at their University, a wealthy private school in New England, and asks students who pass by if they identify as a Democrat or Republican. They find that 53% of the surveyed students identify as Republicans, when the actual percentage is 36%.arrow_forward
- Scenario: What influences the likelihood of whether a person will assist a stranger? In this study, participants were shown four conditions and asked to provide the percent likelihood that they would be willing to help in each condition. The researcher wanted to see if likelihood of helping varies based on the number of bystanders (0 or 10), and/or the gender of the stranger (male or female). Each participant participated in all four conditions (0 bystanders with a female; 0 bystanders with a male; 10 bystanders with a female; 10 bystanders with a male). Question: As taught in 510/515, what is the most appropriate graph if the only significant finding in this scenario is the main effect of number of bystanders?

How many flights must he include in a simple random sample if he wants to be 96% confident that the true population proportion of flights that arrive late lies within 0.02 of our sample proportion? OUECTIONGarrow_forwardA college football coach was interested in whether the college's strength development class increased his players' maximum lift (in pounds) on the bench press exercise. He asked four of his players to participate in a study. The amount of weight they could each lift was recorded before they took the strength development class. After completing the class, the amount of weight they could each lift was again measured. What is being tested in this situation and what distribution will be used to conduct the test? Group of answer choices a.Two independent means, normal distribution. b.Single population mean, use the t-distribution. c.Single population mean, use the normal distribution. d.Two independent proportions, use the normal distribution. e.Two independent means, use the Student’s-t distribution.arrow_forward
