Activity 1. Solve the following problems. Show your solution.

1. In your study, the population size is 20,000. What is the size of your sample if you allow

3% margin of error? (3 pts)

2. A researcher plans to conduct a survey. If the population on High City is 1,500,000,
find the sample size if the margin of error is 0.25. (3 pts)

3. What is the number of interval if the given population size is 60 and the sample size
is 15? (3 pts)
4. What is the number of interval if the given population size is 64 and the sample size
is 8? (3 pts)

Identify the type of Sampling for each of the following statements. Choose your answer on
the given box below. (1 point each number)

A. Simple Random B. Systematic C. Stratified D. Clustered

E. Convenience F. Quota G. Judgement H. Snowball

A 1. In a population of 10, 000 people, a researcher selects every 100 th person for
sampling.

F 2. The researchers select respondents according to their age, socioeconomic

 B 4. For homeless individuals, It may be difficult to obtain a list of homeless
individuals in a city. However, researchers could find a few homeless individuals and then ask

H 5. You may be conducting a study on why high school students choose community
college over university. You might canvas high school students and your first question would

 Activity 2. Write the word STAT (CAPITAL LETTERS) if the statement is correct and if
not, change the underlined word/phrase to make the statement correct. (2 points each
number)

STATS 1. The null hypothesis is a statistical design that is denoted by Ho.

TYPE 1 ERROR 2. Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is rejected when in
fact it is true.

STATS 3. The critical value for a hypothesis test is a threshold to which the
value of the test statistic in a sample is compared to determine whether or not the
alternative hypothesis is rejected.

STATS 4. One-tailed test is a directional test in which the rejection regions are
located on both tails of the normal curve.

STATS 5. A hypothesis is assumption or a tentative explanation for a group of

facts, phenomenon or scientific problem.
