Question

1.) Give the sample space for the following random experiments and indicate which are quantitative: a.) Bob is a farmer shipping hatchling chickens to buyers. He must determine the sex of the chicks he selects for a shipment. The outcome is the determination for a random chick. Sample Space: Quantitative? Y or N: b.) Bob the farmer ships hatchlings in lots of a dozen. For a cheaper price he will ship you chicks that have not been checked via a.) above. The outcome is the number of actual female chicks in a random lot to be shipped. Sample Space: Quantitative? Y or N: c.) You often buy hatchlings from Bob and use a shipping service that delivers once per day. Shipping times may vary due to many circumstances. The outcome is the number of days it takes for a random order to arrive at your door. Sample Space: Quantitative? Y or N:

Answer 1

solution;

given that

sample space is the set of all out comes of the experiment

(a). sample space: determination for a random chicks

  $\therefore$ it ia quantative sample space

s = { female,male }

samlpe space = { female,male }

$\therefore$ quantative = N

(b). sample space : the no of actual female chicks in a random lot to be shifted

$\therefore$ s = { 0,1,2,-----}

it is the quantative samole space

$\therefore$ quantative = Y

(c). sample space :the num of days it takes for a random order to arrive at your door

$\therefore$ s = { 0,1,2,--------}

it is the quantative sample space

$\therefore$quantative = Y
