Thursday HW!

Tonight please complete the "Pop Quiz: Sample Surveys" worksheet provided in class! (It's not really a quiz though). 

Tomorrow we'll quickly go over our homework and get back to our chapter 12 notes! See you there!

Here's the homework in case you lost yours or were out:

  • 1. Employees of Fenway Park plans to survey people who have been to the park and ask, “How would you rate your experience at Fenway Park (using a scale of 1-10 as a quantitative measure)?” During one baseball game, the employees randomly select 1,000 seat numbers and survey these 1,000 people at the park. 
    • Identify each of the following:
      • Sample
      • Sampling Frame
      • Population
      • Population Parameter of Interest
      • Sampling Method 
  • 2. For each scenario below identify the population parameter of interest. Within your answer define the context in detail, and clearly identify what the population is.
    • A meteorologist plans to take a random sample of 30 towns in CT and record the amount of rainfall over the past year. 
    • A psychologist takes a random sample of 5,000 students from colleges/universities across the country and asks, “Do you remember the dream you had last night?” 
If you're looking for some more help/explanation about the homework (or if you were out today), read the blog post below!
