What type of study is described? (NOT A MULTIPLE CHOICE)

a. Managers of a forest preserve want to know what percent of the visitors with dogs keep their dogs on a leash. The park assigns an employee to count the numbers of visitors that do and do not use a leash.

b. A local newspaper polls citizens of a city about whether they support a local tax levy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answers:

a) Observational Studyb) Survey

===========================================================

Explanation:

Part (a)

We have an observational study because the park ranger is observing the people coming and going, as to whether they leash their dog or not. The people being counted are not asked to fill out a form or survey, so that's why we aren't conducting a survey here.

Ideally, the park ranger should somehow make a visual note of each person so they do not count that person more than once. For example, let's say we had 500 people go through the park. Of that 500, the true number of people who leash their dogs is 20. I don't know what the true percentage is, but let's just go with this hypothetical situation. If those 20 people pass back and forth where this manager is taking note, then he might overcount some individuals and inflate that 20 to say 40 or 60, or perhaps even 100. This is if the ranger doesn't look at the individuals closely and simply marks a tally for "leash" vs "no leash". So that's why there needs to be some quick method to distinguish between any unique guest of the park.

--------------------------------

Part (b)

In contrast to part (a), we have a survey here this time. Each person is asked directly about a specific narrow well defined question. The newspaper reporter isn't going out into the field to simply watch or listen to people discuss about taxes, so that's why we don't have an observational study going on. The reporter should try to keep the question as bias-free as possible. Also, they need to ensure that the sample is representative of the population.

In neither part (a) nor part (b) is an experiment being done. An experiment requires two groups: a treatment group and control group. Also, the researcher would directly affect the treatment group to somehow change one specific aspect, while keeping the control group the same (though possibly giving a placebo of some kind). For each of these, the researcher is simply trying to stay out of the picture as much as possible while gathering the external data.

Four people applied for a job as an assistant manager at a store. Only two of these people will be hired.

Answers

Answer:

50% of the applicants will be hired.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that four people applied for a job as an assistant manager at a store, but only two of these people will be hired, the following calculation must be performed to determine the percentage of people who will enter the job:

4 - 2 = 2

4 = 100

2 = X

2 x 100/4 = X

200/4 = X

50 = X

Thus, 50% of the applicants will enter the job.

. The average life of a certain type of small motor is 10 years with a standard deviation of 2 years. The manufacturer replaces free all motors that fail while under guarantee. If she is willing to replace 3% of the motors that fail, how long a guarantee (in years) should she offer

Answers

Answer:

She should offer a guarantee of 13.76 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The average life of a certain type of small motor is 10 years with a standard deviation of 2 years.

This means that [tex]\mu = 10, \sigma = 2[/tex]

If she is willing to replace 3% of the motors that fail, how long a guarantee (in years) should she offer?

She should offer the 100 - 3 = 97th percentile as a guarantee, so X when Z has a pvalue of 0.97, that is, X when Z = 1.88.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.88 = \frac{X - 10}{2}[/tex]

[tex]X - 10 = 2*1.88[/tex]

[tex]X = 13.76[/tex]

She should offer a guarantee of 13.76 years.
