Need help understanding this assignment.. Not sure what exactally i need to do, or what its asking me to do.

Answer 1

@e.mccormick could you help explain to me what their asking me to do. I am so confused.

Answer 2

I would start by looking for this other lesson:

3. Using the steps from the “Sampling” lesson, select a random sample of 150 people from the spreadsheet.

Note: Use the “Paste Special” option when copying this information. This will ensure that the random numbers do not change.

Answer 3

Answer 6

Hmmm, personally, to satisfy the rule that the random be equaliy distributed, I would make ranges that are by gender and age. Then I would randomy select a range. From each range I would pick three, putting one in each group. This would prevent the bias they are talking about in age and gender.

Answer 7

thats seems really confusing, especially because i dont know how to even use a spreadsheet or where to put things
