A sociologist wants to know the opinions of employed adult women about government funding for day care. She obtains a list of the 520 members of a local business and professional women's club and mails a questionnaire to 100 of these women selected at random. Only 48 questionnaires are returned. What is the population in this study? 0 the 100 randomly selected women 0 employed adult women 0 the 48 club members who returned the survey 0 the 520 members of the club What is the sample? 0 the 100 randomly selected women 0 employed adult women 0 the 48 club members who returned the survey 0 the 520 members of the club Twenty overweight females have agreed to participate in a study of the effectiveness of four weightiloss treatments: A, E, C, and D. The researcher first calculates how overweight each subject is by comparing the subject's actual weight with her "ideal" weight. Here are the subjects and their excess weights in pounds. Birnbaum 35 Hernandez 25 Moses 25 Smith 29 Brown 34 Jachon 33 Nevesky 39 Stall 33 Brunk 30 Kendall 28 Obrach 30 Tran 35 Cruz 34 Loren 32 Rodriguez 30 Wilansky 42 Deng 24 Mann 28 Santiago 27 Williams 22 The response variable is the weight lost after 8 weeks of treatment. Because a subject's excess weight will inuence the response, a block design is appropriate. (a) Arrange the subjects in order of increasing excess weight. Form 5 blocks of 4 subjects each by grouping the 4 least overweight, then the next 4, and so on. (List the names in each block by increasing excess weights.) Block 1 Block 2 Block 3 Block 4 Block 5 (b) Use Table B to randomly assign the 4 subjects in each block to the 4 weightaloss treatments. (Start on line 128 of Table B. Number from 1 to 4 within each block and assign patients to treatment A,B,C, or D in the order they appear in the table.) Block 1.

That is, say what kind of individuals the population consists of and say exactly which individuals fall in the population.

There are reports that variation in the output voltage of the regulators is affecting the performance of the finished products. To assess the quality of the supplier's production, the manufacturer sends a sample of 5 regulators from the last shipment to a laboratory for study. population O the 5 regulators O all the regulator suppliers O all the regulators in US O all the regulators in the last shipment individual O a shipment O a laboratory O a voltage regulator O a regulator supplierA manufacturer of food products uses package liners that are sealed at the top by applying heated jaws after the package is filled. The customer peels the sealed pieces apart to open the package. What effect does the temperature of the jaws have on the force requried to peel the liner? To answer this question, the engineers prepare 20 pairs of pieces of package liner. They seal five pairs at each of 250"F, 275"F, 300"F, and 325"F. Then they measure the strength needed to peel each seal. Identify the experimental unit(s). (Select all that apply.)

He tests the reading ability of each student in a class of fourth graders, then divides them into two groups. One group uses the computer regularly, while the other studies a standard curriculum. At the end of the year, he retests all the students and compares the increase in reading ability in the two groups. Is this an experiment? O yes O no Why or why not? O No treatment is imposed. O A treatment is imposed. What are the explanatory and response variables? the explanatory variable O the increase in reading ability based on the pretests and posttests O teaching methods (computer assisted or standard) O number of students in a class O number of groups divided the response variable O the increase in reading ability based on the pretests and posttests O number of students in a class O number of groups divided O teaching methods (computer assisted or standard)Many studies have found that people who drink alcohol in moderation have lower risk of heart attacks than either nondrinkers or heavy drinkers. Does alcohol consumption also improve survival after a heart attack? One study followed 1913 people who were hospitalized after severe heart attacks. In the year before their heart attack, 47% of these people did not drink, 36% drank moderately, and 17% drank heavily. After four years, fewer of the moderate drinkers had died. Is this an observational study or an experiment7 0 an observational study 0 an experiment Why? O The researcher attempted to change the amount that people drank. O The researcher did not attempt to change the amount that people drank. What are the explanatory and response variables? the explanatory variable 0 alcohol consumption O survival after 4 years 0 the 1913 people in the study the response variable 0 survival after 4 years 0 the 1913 people in the study 0 alcohol consumption During the 2000 presidential campaign, the candidates debated what to do with the large government surplus. The Pew Research Center asked two questions of random samples of adults. Both questions states that social security would be "fixed.\" Here are the uses suggested for the remaining surplus. Shoufd' the money be used for a tax cut, or should it be used to fund new goverment programs? should the money be used for a tax cut, or should it be spent on programs for education, the environment, health care, crime-ghting and military defense? One of these questions drew 60% favoring a tax cut; the other, only 22%. Which wording pulls respondents toward a tax cut? 0 the first wording O the second wording Why? 0 This wording contains a more popular alternative. 0 This wording is longer. 0 This wording uses bigger words. 0 This wording is shorter. O This wording uses smaller words. 0 This wording contains a less popular alternative. A newspaper article about an opinion poll says that "43% of Americans approve of the president's overall job performance." Toward the end of the article, you read: \"The poll is based on telephone interviews of 1210 adults from around the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii." What variable did this poll measure? 0 number of successful telephone interviews 0 number of people surveyed O the response rate 0 approval of president's job pen'orrnance What population do you think the newspaper wants information about? 0 adult citizens of Alaska and Hawaii 0 adult c Zens of the US east coast 0 adult citizens of the US 0 adult citizens of the US west coast 0 the 1210 adults interviewed What was the sample? 0 adult citizens of the US east coast 0 the 1210 adults interviewed 0 adult citizens of Alaska and Hawaii 0 adult citizens of the US 0 adult citizens of the US west coast Are there any sources of bias in the sampling method used? (Select all that apply.) D They only surveyed people in US. Cl Only adults With phones were contacted. D The sample size is too small. Cl Alaska and Hawaii were omitted.

O _ 0 "he population of the poll increased. 0 , he rm wants to increase the accuracy of its poll results. The ability to grow in shade may help pines found in the dry forests of Arizona to resist drought. How well do these pines grow in shade?

The chemical reaction that produces the product may have higher or lower yield, depending on the light, temperature, and stirring rate in the vessel in which the reaction takes place. The engineer decides to investigate the effects of combinations of two light levels (low and high), three temperatures (40\"C, 50\"C, and 60C) and four stirring rates (30 rpm, 60 rpm, 90 rpm, and 120 rpm) on the yield of the process. She will process five batches of the product at each combination of light, temperature, and stirring rate. (a) What are the experimental units in this experiment? 0 the yield of each batch O the batches of the product 0 the stirring rate 0 the temperature What is the response variable in this experiment? 0 the temperature 0 the stirring rate 0 the batches of the product 0 the yield of each batch (b) How many factors are there? |:l How many treatments are there? |:| Use a diagram to lay out the treatments.
