A study was done to determine the age, number of times per week, and the duration (amount of time) of residents using a local park in San Antonio, Texas. The first house in the neighborhood around the park was selected randomly, and then the resident of every eighth house in the neighborhood around the park was interviewed.

“Duration (amount of time)” is what type of data?

a. qualitative(categorical); b. quantitative discrete; c. quantitative continuous

For the following four exercises, determine the type of sampling used (simple random, stratified, systematic, cluster, or convenience).

The first 50 people who walk into a sporting event are polled on their television preferences.

A “random survey” was conducted of 3,274people of the “microprocessor generation” (people born since 1971, the year the microprocessor was invented). It was reported that 48% of those individuals surveyed stated that if they had $2,000to spend, they would use it for computer equipment. Also, 66%of those surveyed considered themselves relatively savvy computer users.

a. Do you consider the sample size large enough for a study of this type? Why or why not?

b. Based on your “gut feeling,” do you believe the percents accurately reflect the U.S. population for those individuals born since 1971? If not, do you think the percents of the population are actually higher or lower than the sample statistics? Why? Additional information: The survey, reported by Intel Corporation, was filled out by individuals who visited the Los Angeles Convention Center to see the Smithsonian Institute's road show called “America’s Smithsonian.”

c. With this additional information, do you feel that all demographic and ethnic groups were equally represented at the event? Why or why not?

d. With the additional information, comment on how accurately you think the sample statistics reflect the population parameters

For the following four exercises, determine the type of sampling used (simple random, stratified, systematic, cluster, or convenience).

A computer generates 100 random numbers, and 100 people whose names correspond with the numbers on the list are chosen.
