Short Answer

Expert verified

There is no difference between the two.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given statement is:

What is the difference between selecting a member at random from a finite population and taking a simple random sample of size 1?

02

Step 2. Difference between selecting a member at random from a finite population and taking a simple random sample of size 1.

There's no difference between picking a random member from a finite population and choosing a simple random sample of size 1.

Because both experiments entail selecting one object at random from a set.

Suppose that a simple random sample is taken from a finite population in which each member is classified as either having or not having a specified attribute. Fill in the following blanks.

(a) If sampling is with replacement, the probability distribution of the number of members sampled that have the specified attribute is a distribution.

(b) If sampling is without replacement, the probability distribution of the number of members sampled that have the specified attribute is a distribution.

(c) If sampling is without replacement and the sample size does not exceed % of the population size, the probability distribution of the number of members sampled that have the specified attribute can be approximated by a distribution.
