Math Problem Statement
A simple random sample of n subjects is selected in such a way that every possible sample of the same size n has the same chance of being chosen. (A simple random sample is often called a random sample, but strictly speaking, a random sample has the weaker requirement that all members of the population have the same chance of being selected.) Determine whether each of the following is a simple random sample and/or a random sample. Complete parts (a) through (c). Question content area bottom Part 1 a. In a recent year, the following medical schools had the given enrollments: New York University (103), Columbia (140), and New York Medical College (219). The names of those three colleges are printed on three separate index cards, the cards are shuffled, and one card is drawn. The sample consists of the names of the medical students enrolled in the selected medical school. This sample ▼ is is not a simple random sample. It ▼ is is not a random sample. Part 2 b. For the three medical schools in part (a), the 462 names of the students are printed on 462 index cards, then the cards are shuffled. Forty different cards are selected, and the sample consists of the 40 selected medical students. This sample ▼ is not is a simple random sample. It ▼ is is not a random sample. Part 3 c. For the three medical schools in part (a), a sample is constructed by selecting the 40 youngest medical students. This sample ▼ is not is a simple random sample. It ▼ is not is a random sample. Listed below are amounts of strontium-90 (in millibecquerels, or mBq) in a simple random sample of baby teeth obtained from residents in a region born after 1979. Use the given data to construct a boxplot and identify the 5-number summary. 124 126 129 132 133 135 136 139 141 142
146 147 148 151 152 157 158 159 162 169 Question content area bottom Part 1 The 5-number summary is enter your response here, enter your response here, enter your response here, enter your response here, and enter your response here, all in mBq. (Use ascending order. Type integers or decimals. Do not round.)
