1. Give one possible sample of size 4 from each of the following populations:
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

a. All daily newspapers published in the United States
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

b. All companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

c. All students at your college or university
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

d. All grade point averages of students at your college or university

2. A Southern State University system consists of 23 campuses. An administrator wishes to make an
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

inference about the average distance between the hometowns of students and their campuses. Describe and
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

discuss several different sampling methods that might be employed. Would this be an enumerative or an
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

analytic study? Explain your reasoning.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




ANS:
One could take a simple random sample of students from all students in the California State University
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

system and ask each student in the sample to report the distance from their hometown to campus.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

Alternatively, the sample could be generated by taking a stratified random sample by taking a simple
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

random sample from each of the 23 campuses and again asking each student in the sample to report the
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

distance from their hometown to campus.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

Certain problems might arise with self reporting of distances, such as recording error or poor recall. This study
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

is enumerative because there exists a finite, identifiable population of objects from which to sample.

3. A Michigan city divides naturally into ten district neighborhoods. How might a real estate appraiser select
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

a sample of single-family homes that could be used as a basis for developing an equation to predict
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

appraised value from characteristics such as age, size, number of bathrooms, and distance to the nearest
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

school, and so on? Is the study enumerative or analytic?
h1 h1 h1 h1 h 1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




ANS:

One could generate a simple random sample of all single family homes in the city or a stratified random
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

sample by taking a simple random sample from each of the 10 district neighborhoods. From each of the
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

homes in the sample the necessary variables would be collected. This would be an enumerative study
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

because there exists a finite, identifiable population of objects from which to sample.

4. An experiment was carried out to study how flow rate through a solenoid valve in an automobile‘s
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

pollution-control system depended on three factors: armature lengths, spring load, and bobbin depth.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h 1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

Two different levels (low and high) of each factor were chosen, and a single observation on flow was
h 1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

made for each combination of levels.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




a. The resulting data set consisted of how many observations?
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

b. Is this an enumerative or analytic study? Explain your reasoning.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




ANS:
a. Number observations equal 2 2 2=8 h1 h1 h1 h1 h 1 h1 h 1

b. This could be called an analytic study because the data would be collected on an existing
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

process. There is no sampling frame.

Construct a stem-and-leaf display using repeated stems and comment on any interesting features of the display.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




ANS:
One method of denoting the pairs of stems having equal values is to denote the stem by L, for ‗low‘ and
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

the second stem by H, for ‗high‘. Using this notation, the stem-and-leaf display would appear as
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h 1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

follows:
h1




3L 1 stem: tenths h1

3H 56678 leaf: h 1 hundredths
4L 000112222234
5L 144

The stem-and-leaf display on the previous page shows that .45 is a good representative value for the data.
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

In addition, the display is not symmetric and appears to be positively skewed. The spread of the data is
h 1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h 1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

.75 - .31 = .44, which is .44/.45 = .978 or about 98% of the typical value of .45. This constitutes a
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h 1 h1 h1

reasonably large amount of variation in the data. The data value .75 is a possible outlier.

6. Temperature transducers of a certain type are shipped in batches of 50.
h1 A sample of 60 batches was
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h 1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

selected, and the number of transducers in each batch not conforming to design specifications was
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

determined, resulting in the following data:
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

, a. Determine frequencies and relative frequencies for the observed values of x = number of
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

nonconforming transducers in a batch. h1 h1 h1 h1

b. What proportion of batches in the sample has at most four nonconforming transducers? What
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

proportion has fewer than four? What proportion has at least four nonconforming units?
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




ANS:

The relative h1 h 1 frequencies don’t add up exactly to 1because they have been rounded
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




b. The number of batches with at most 4 nonconforming items is 7+12+13+14+6=52, which is a proportion
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

of 52/60=.867. The proportion of batches with (strictly) fewer than 4 nonconforming items is
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

46/60=.767.

7. The number of contaminating particles on a silicon wafer prior to a certain rinsing process was determined
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

h1 for each wafer in a sample size 100, resulting in the following frequencies:
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1




Number of particles h1 h 1 Frequency Number of particles h1 h 1 Frequency
0 1 8 12

a. What proportion of the sampled wafers had at least two particles? At least six particles?
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

b. What proportion of the sampled wafers had between four and nine particles, inclusive? Strictly between
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

four and nine particles?
h1 h1 h1 h1




ANS:
a. From this frequency distribution, the proportion of wafers that contained at least two particles is (100-1-
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

2)/100 = h1

.97, or 97%. In a similar fashion, the proportion containing at least 6 particles is (100 – 1-2-3-12-11-
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

15)/100 = 56/100 = .56, or 56%. h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

b. The proportion containing between 4 and 9 particles inclusive is (11+15+18+10+12+4)/100 = 70/100
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

= .70, or 70%. The proportion that contain strictly between 4 and 9 (meaning strictly more than 4
h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1 h1

and strictly less than 9) is (15+ 18+10+12)/100= 55/100 = .55, or 55%.
