Question 5

As part of a statistics project, Andrea would like to collect data on household size in her city. To do so, she asks each person in her statistics class for the size of their household, and reports that her sample is a simple random sample. However, this is not a simple random sample. Which of the following is the best reasoning for why this is not a random sample that is appropriate for this research question?

Your Answer

Andrea did not use any randomization; she took a convenience sample.

Andrea did not use a stratified sample.

Andrea did not use a random number table to randomize the order in which she collected thstudents’ responses, so the sample cannot be random.

Andrea asked everybody in her class instead of asking her classmates to volunteer.

Question ExplanationThis question refers to the following learning objective(s):

Identify the four principles of experimental design and recognize their purposes:

? control any possible confounders,

? randomize into treatment and control groups,

? replicate by using a sufficiently large sample or repeating the experiment, ? block any variables that might influence the response.

Question ExplanationThis question refers to the following learning objective(s):

Note that there are three commonly used measures of center and spread:

? center: mean (the arithmetic average), median (the midpoint), mode (the most frequent observation)

? spread: standard deviation (variability around the mean), range (max-min), interquartile range (middle 50% of the distribution)
