Check my answer

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Sorry I dont know this one probably @phi can help...

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

@phi im positive #3 is right , but not so sure on the others

OpenStudy (phi):

I'm thinking Q2 is D some outcomes are systematically favored

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

I guess that could be true,but it a if / or type thing

OpenStudy (phi):

Q1 *might* be the last choice, because none of them are using chance to select their samples

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

give me a second please, to goole some things and I'll give a second answer if i have one

OpenStudy (phi):

though the last example of the detective asking the questions is a different problem. I think your answer for Q1 is the best.

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

Yes I tihnk my answer for number #1 is the best for whats given to us

OpenStudy (phi):

But Q3 has me puzzled. if you want a random sample of say 100 out of a million you don't have all million respond to the survey, do you ?

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

For number #2 I am going to change my answer to D think thats best

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

what do you think for Q2

OpenStudy (phi):

I thought D was best for Q2

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

oh ok good

OpenStudy (phi):

For Q3 I can rule out A, B, D but I don't like C (or don't understand it) so by process of elimination I'm thinking E but that is not a very clear.

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

hold on let me show you something for #3

OpenStudy (phi):

oh, that definition is choice E in Q3

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

A simple random sample of size n is selected in such a way that every possible sample of the same size n has the same chance of being chosen.

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

oh you think choice E

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, and if we boil that down, every possible sample of the same size n to "sample of size n" has the same chance of being chosen.

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

ok so i really dont know now, I guess I should trust what you say but for Q3 im really confused

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

hmm, interesting i see. so its the same size to the same thing

OpenStudy (phi):

The definition you posted says every sample of size n has an equal chance of being selected. choice E says all samples of size n have the same chance of being selected those sound close enough for me. plus, as I posted earlier, choice C, each member has a chance to respond means something different from choice E.

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

oh im stupid....... i didnt re-read the answer choice E to see what your talking about I'm sorry but yes, I agree!

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

i am now try to reason why i chose C to begin with

OpenStudy (phi):

You have a decent shot of getting these 3 correct. (but no guarantees!)

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

Yes, and with your help I must thank you so.... Hey
