Exercise 6.

Worked-Out Answers to Self-Check Exercises

SC 6-1 Starting at the top of the third column and choosing the last 4 digits of the
numbers in that column gives the following sample (reading across rows):
892 1652 2963 2913 3181 9348 4959

769
7712 8136 9659 2526 6988 1781

8559 2204 4339 6299 3397

SC 6-2 Stratified sampling is more appropriate in this case because there appear
to be two very dissimilar groups, which probably have smaller variation
within each group than between groups.

SC 6-3 No. The mean of a sample usually does not exactly equal the population
mean because of sampling error.
SC 6-4 The information gathered concerns mean flossings per day for groups of
o

50 patients, not for single patients, so it is a sample from the sampling

distribution of the mean of samples of size 50 drawn from the patient
aC s

population. It is not a sample from the patient population.
