Sampling the forest To gather data on a 1200-acre pine forest in Louisiana, the U.S. Forest Service laid a grid of 1410 equally spaced circular plots over a map

of the forest. A ground survey visited a sample of 10% of these plots.12

(a) Explain how you would use technology or Table D to choose an SRS of 141 plots. Your description should be clear enough for a classmate to obtain your results.

(b) Use your method from (a) to choose the first 3 plots.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) The three-phase starter is the overload relay that gets connected with the three lines.

Part (b) The plot 1387,629 and 908 are selected.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

A number of equally spaced circular plots = 1410

The sample size, 1410×0.1=141

02

Part (a) Step 2: Concept

A simple random sample (SRS) of size is made up of n people chosen from the population with an equal chance of being the sample that is actually chosen.

03

Part (a) Step 3: Explanation

A 10% sample of these plots was visited during a ground survey."

TABLE D- The unique number between 1 and 1410 is taken into account. The row is chosen from table D. The number 1 and 1410 are included in the four digits. The appropriate plot is chosen or moved to the next four digits. For 141 values, the plot is repeated. For using three phase motor starters, the line or wiring diagram is developed based on which the line gets overloaded the relays. At overload relays with the coil at the control circuit, the contact will be present. As a result, the coil and control circuit will remain connected. Low voltage protection emerges in a three-wire system. It's connected to the starter that controls everything. As a result, the voltage value will not be selected automatically. Overload relays are used to safeguard circuits from excessive current. They are joined in three lines with three phase starters.

04

Part (b) Step 1:Calculation

The seven distinct numbers are chosen from 1 to 1410

Starting at number 122 1387381598950629090873592751868713695761

The first four digits of any number with a 7 between 1 and 1410 are taken. The plot can either be picked or moved to the following four digits. 1387selectplot13873815Ignore0629Selectplot6290908Selectplot908

As a result, plots 1387,629, and 908 are chosen.

The T183/T184 CALCULATOR is used with the operations listed below: randInt is one of the commands that should be used (1,1410,3) The bottom and upper margins are represented by the first and second numbers. The values should be somewhere in the middle.

The third number is included in the total number of required selections.

PRB determines the MATH type by using randInt.

The plot 1387,629 and 908 are selected.

Effects of TV advertising Figure 4.3displays the six treatments for a two-factor experiment on TV advertising. Suppose we have 150students who are willing to serve as subjects. Describe how you would randomly assign the subjects to the treatments

(a) using slips of paper.

(b) using Table D.

(c) using technology.

Random digits Which of the following statements are true of a table of random digits, and which are false? Briefly explain your answers.

(a) There are exactly four 0s in each row of 40 digits.

(b) Each pair of digits has a chance 1/100 of being 00

(c) The digits 0000 can never appear as a group

because this pattern is not random.

Cocoa and blood flowA study conducted by Norman Hollenberg, professor of medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School,

involved 27healthy people aged 18-72. Each subject consumed a cocoa beverage containing 900milligrams of flavonols (a class of flavonoids) daily

for five days. Using a finger cuff, blood flow was measured on the first and fifth days of the study. After five days, researchers measured what they called “signifi-

cant improvement” in blood flow and the function of the cells that line the blood vessels. What flaw in the design of this experiment makes it impossible to say

whether the cocoa really caused the improved blood flow? Explain.

A sampling at the mall You have probably seen the mall interviewer, approaching people passing by with a clipboard in hand. Explain why even a large sample of mall shoppers would not provide a trustworthy estimate of the current unemployment rate.

Do placebos really work? Researchers in Japan conducted an experiment on 131 individuals who were extremely allergic to poison ivy. On one arm, each subject was rubbed with a poison ivy leaf and told the leaf was harmless. On the other arm, each subject was rubbed with a harmless leaf and told it was poison ivy. All the subjects developed a rash on the arm where the harmless leaf was rubbed. Of the

13subjects, 11 did not have any reaction to the real poison ivy leaf.

(a) What was the placebo in this experiment?

(b) Explain how the results of this study support the idea of a placebo effect.
