A sample of pages from this book is to be obtained, and the number of words on each selected page will be determined. For the purposes of this exercise, equations are not counted as words and a number is counted as a word only if it is spelled out—that is, ten is counted as a word, but 10 is not. a. Describe a sampling procedure that would result in a simple random sample of pages from this book.
b. Describe a sampling procedure that would result in a stratified random sample. Explain why you chose the specific strata used in your sampling plan.
c. Describe a sampling procedure that would result in a systematic sample.
d. Describe a sampling procedure that would result in a cluster sample.
e. Using the process you gave in Part (a), select a simple random sample of at least 20 pages, and record the number of words on each of the selected pages. Construct a dotplot of the resulting sample values, and write a sentence or two commenting on what it reveals about the number of words on a page.
f. Using the process you gave in Part (b), select a stratified random sample that includes a total of at least 20 selected pages, and record the number of words on each of the selected pages. Construct a dotplot of the resulting sample values, and write a sentence or two commenting on what it reveals about the number of words on a page.
