a)

experiment

b)

survey

c)

census

a)

experiment

b)

survey

13.

A sample in which every member of a population has an equal chance of being selected is called a ...

a)

stratified sample

b)

cluster sample

c)

systematic sample

d)

random sample

14.

15.

A (a)   sample is used when the population falls into naturally occurring subgroups, each having similar characteristics. To select this type of sample, the population is divided into groups called clusters. Then, all the members of one or more (but not all) of the clusters are selected.

16.

A (a)   sample is used when it is important to have members from each segment of the population. Depending on the study, members are divided up into 2 or more different subsets, called strata, that share a similar characteristic, such as age, gender, ethnicity, or even political preference. A sample is then randomly selected from each strata.

17.

A (a)   sample is a sample in which each member of the population is assigned a number. The members of the population are ordered in some way, a starting number is randomly selected, and then sample members are selected at regular intervals from the starting number. (For instance, every 3rd , 5th , or 100th member is selected.)

18.

A (a)   sample is one that is not representative of the population from which it is drawn.

19.

A frequency histogram is...

a)

a bar graph in which the class boundaries are on the y-axis and the frequencies are on the x-axis.

b)

a bar graph in which the class boundaries are on the x-axis and the frequencies are on the y-axis.

c)

a line graph in which the class boundaries are on the y-axis and the frequencies are on the x-axis.

d)

a line graph in which the class boundaries are on the x-axis and the frequencies are on the y-axis.

20.

To find class boundaries...

a)

one must add the class limits together and divide by two.

b)

one must subtract 0.5 from the upper limit and add 0.5 to the lower limit.

c)

one must subtract 0.5 from the lower limit and add 0.5 to the upper limit.

d)

one must add the class width to the lower limit.
