Problem 1:
The GT BME department is making an effort to improve the climate of the department. As part
of that effort, they carried out a climate study last year that involved interviewing and surveying
students, staff, and faculty from the department. As part of that effort, we sent a survey to all
undergraduate BME students (N=1202) and received 324 responses.
(0.5pt) What population is the survey data a sample of?
Undergraduate BME students at Georgia Tech (or equivalent, must have all three pieces)
(2pt) We are considering using the same survey for a study of both the students in our class and
the undergraduates Georgia Tech as a whole. Assuming that the response rate will be the same
for each population, fill out the data table below. Please round decimals to 1 percentage place.
