Answer: This depends on the type of journal. In laboratory based studies in psychology,
for example, accidental or convenience samples are much more common. Reports from
nationally representative surveys (e.g. Harris, Gallup) generally are based on random
samples (and other procedures such as stratified sampling may be used to improve
representativeness).
b. Which type of sample (A or B) is more likely to be representative of a clearly
defined population?
2. Suppose that a researcher tests the safety and effectiveness of a new drug on a
convenience sample of male medical students between the ages of 24 and 30. If
the drug appears to be effective and safe for this convenience sample, can the
researcher safely conclude that the drug would be safe for women, children, and
persons older than 70 years of age? Give reasons for your answer.
Aptitude Test (SAT) scores for the entire class of students admitted in the
fall of 2005 (mean = 660) and the verbal SAT scores for the entire class
admitted in the fall of 2004 (mean = 540) and concludes that the class of
students admitted to Corinth in 2005 had higher verbal scores than the class
Answer: Case I is descriptive, because the administrator used the data only to talk about
the test performance of students in the two classes; the administrator did not make
inferences about test performance for people not actually included in the two classes.
in the fall of 2005 and asks them to self-report how often they engage in binge
drinking. Members of the sample report an average of 2.1 binge drinking episodes
per week. The administrator writes a report that says, “The average level of binge
drinking among all Corinth College students is about 2.1 episodes per week.”
Answer: Case II is inferential, because data were collected for a subset of Corinth
students, but conclusions were drawn about drinking among all students at Corinth.
quantitative. For your answers to this question do not use any of the variables
variable). Include the groups or levels (in the example given in the text, when
Gender is the categorical variable, the groups are female and male).
make sense to use these numbers to compute a mean? Give reasons for your
answer.
Answer: No, because numbers serve only as labels for religious group membership. A
“mean” religion computed by summing these scores would not be an interpretable
number.
5. Using the guidelines given in this chapter (and Table 1.4), name an appropriate
statistical analysis for each of the following imaginary studies. Also, state which
that any categorical independent variable is between-S (rather than within-S), and
assume that the conditions required for the use of parametric statistics are
satisfied.

of labor statistics established, factories, mines, and workshops
inspected, the employment of children under fourteen years of age
forbidden, and wages paid in cash.
Fourth. Slavery being simply cheap labor, and cheap labor being
simply slavery, the importation and presence of Chinese serfs
necessarily tends to brutalize and degrade American labor; therefore,
immediate steps should be taken to abrogate the Burlingame treaty.
Fifth. Railroad land grants forfeited by reason of non-fulfillment of
contract should be immediately reclaimed by the government, and,
henceforth, the public domain reserved exclusively as homes for
actual settlers.
Sixth. It is the duty of Congress to regulate inter-state commerce.
All lines of communication and transportation should be brought
under such legislative control as shall secure moderate, fair, and
uniform rates for passenger and freight traffic.
Seventh. We denounce as destructive to property and dangerous to
liberty the action of the old parties in fostering and sustaining
gigantic land, railroad, and money corporations, and monopolies
invested with and exercising powers belonging to the government,
and yet not responsible to it for the manner of their exercise.
Eighth. That the constitution, in giving Congress the power to
borrow money, to declare war, to raise and support armies, to
provide and maintain a navy, never intended that the men who
loaned their money for an interest-consideration should be preferred
to the soldiers and sailors who periled their lives and shed their
blood on land and sea in defense of their country; and we condemn
the cruel class legislation of the Republican party, which, while
professing great gratitude to the soldier, has most unjustly
discriminated against him and in favor of the bondholder.
Ninth. All property should bear its just proportion of taxation, and
we demand a graduated income tax.
Tenth. We denounce as dangerous the efforts everywhere manifest
to restrict the right of suffrage.
Eleventh. We are opposed to an increase of the standing army in
time of peace, and the insidious scheme to establish an enormous
military power under the guise of militia laws.
Twelfth. We demand absolute democratic rules for the
government of Congress, placing all representatives of the people
upon an equal footing, and taking away from committees a veto
power greater than that of the President.
Thirteenth. We demand a government of the people, by the people,
and for the people, instead of a government of the bondholder, by the
bondholder, and for the bondholder; and we denounce every attempt
to stir up sectional strife as an effort to conceal monstrous crimes
against the people.
Fourteenth. In the furtherance of these ends we ask the co-
operation of all fair-minded people. We have no quarrel with
individuals, wage no war on classes, but only against vicious
institutions. We are not content to endure further discipline from our
present actual rulers, who, having dominion over money, over
transportation, over land and labor, over the press and the
machinery of government, wield unwarrantable power over our
institutions and over life and property.
