A school district has a population of 2000 students. A researcher intends to select a small sample of these students for a study on physical activity. Using a simple random sampling technique, what is the probability that any of the students in the school is selected into the sample?
Homework Answers
here sample size is not given ; let sample size is n
therefore due to random sampling
probability that any of the students in the school is selected into the sample
=favorable sample space/total sample space =n/2000
(Note: if n is one; then probability will become 1/2000 as each person is equally probable to get selected)

Suppose we want to estimate the average weight of children in a particular school district. The district contains 15 elementary schools, 10 middle schools, and 2 high schools. For each of the following approaches, select the best description of the sampling design, and identify whether the sampling scheme ensures that the probability of being included is necessarily the same for every student. Take a simple random sample of 5 schools in the district. For each school in the sample, list...

30% of the fifth grade students in a large school district read below grade level. The distribution of sample proportions of samples of 100 students from this population is normal with a mean of 0.30 and a standard deviation of 0.045. Suppose that you select a sample of 100 fifth grade students from this district and find that the proportion that reads below grade level in the sample is 0.36. What is the probability that a second sample would be...

A school administrator is interested in estimating the proportion of students in the district who participate in community service activities. From a random sample of 100 students in the district, the administrator will construct a 99 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all district students who participate in community service activities. Which of the following statements must be true? A)The population proportion will be in the confidence interval. b)The probability that the confidence interval will include the population proportion...

A nurse researcher who is a faculty member in a university setting has been hearing students who are struggling academically describe during counseling sessions the difficulties they are experiencing in balancing school and parenting responsibilities. The researcher believes that the descriptions of the difficulties students relate appear to be different depending on their gender. This leads the researcher to question if there is a difference between students who are mothers and students who are fathers in how they balance school...

A researcher surveys middle-school students on their study habits. She finds that in a random sample of 28 middle-school students, the mean amount of time that they spend working on the computer each night is 2.4 hours with a standard deviation of 0.92 hours. She uses the sample statistics to compute a 95% confidence interval for the population mean - the the mean amount of time that all middle-school students spend working on the computer each night. What is the...
