According to exit polls, the voting "gender gap" was 22 points in the 2016 House of Representatives election; that is, women voted for Democrats by 10 percentage points, and men voted for Republicans by 12 percentage points. Political scientists are curious to see if this gap holds- or increases- in 2018, but statisticians might be more interested in the processes behind exit polling and the rellabllity of thelr results.
When conducting exit polls, pollsters will randomly select a certain number of precincts, then attempt to get all the voters leaving the polling place to participate in their poll. If they can't get all voters, they will instead attempt to get every nth voter to participate. Many polling companies believe that Democrats are more likely to agree to an exit poll than Republicans or Independents.
Of course, not everyone votes in the morning/mid-afternoon of the election. To get an idea of the preferences of people who voted in the precinct before election day, typically by absentee ballots, companies will attempt a random telephone survey of those voters. Exit polls often wrap up and leave the field before voting stations close, so people voting in the last couple hours of the day may also be missed
(a) What type of sampling methods are used in selecting people for exit polls?
a. Simple Random Sampling
b. Cluster Sampling
c. Stratified Sampling
d. Convenience Sampling
e. Systematic Sampling
(b) Why do the polllng companles randomly select the preclncts to vislt?
a. Randomly selecting precincts to assign pollsters ensures that the companies can conclude a cause and effect relationship between the voters' beliefs and their voting pattern
b. There are too many precincts to manually select, so they are forced to randomly select them
c. Randomly selecting precincts increases the likelihood that the people polled represent the population well.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) cluster sampling ( b ) and systematic sampling ( e )

B ) Randomly selecting precincts increases the likelihood that the people polled represent the population well. ( c )

Step-by-step explanation:

Cluster sampling is a type of sampling plan used when there is an internally heterogeneous groups can be found inside a population that is supposed to be mutually  homogeneous . while systematic sampling is a type of probability sampling that involves the selection of samples from a larger population at random but using a specific interval. to get the systematic sample the larger population is divided by the sample size.

from the information available in the report it is very evident that not all voters can be captured at once hence cluster sampling and systematic sampling would be employed .  

B) the company will randomly select precinct to increase the likelihood of the sample size representing the entire population very well

In football seasons, a team gets 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a

loss. In a particular season, a team played 34 games and lost 6 games. If the team had a

total of 70 points at the end of the season, what is the difference between games won and lost​

Answers

Answer:

The difference between the games won and lost = 21 - 6 =15

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question In a football season a team gets 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss.

A particular season a team played 34 games and lost 6 games . Finding the difference between game won and game lost simply means we have to know the number of game lost and game won.

The team played a total of 34 games.

Total games played = 34

Out of the 34 games played they lost 6 games. That means the remaining games is either win or draw. Therefore,

34 - 6 = 28 games was won or draw

Let

the number of games won = x

the number of game drew = y

3x + y = 70.............(i)

x  + y = 28................(ii)

x = 28 - y

insert the value of x in equation(i)

3(28 - y) + y = 70

84 - 3y + y = 70

84 - 70 = 3y -y

14 = 2y

divide both sides by 2

y = 14/2

y = 7

insert the value of y in equation(ii)

x + y = 28

x = 28 - 7

x = 21

The team won 21 games , drew 7 games and lost 6 games.

The difference between the games won and lost = 21 - 6 =15

Problem 10: A tank initially contains a solution of 10 pounds of salt in 60 gallons of water. Water with 1/2 pound of salt per gallon is added to the tank at 6 gal/min, and the resulting solution leaves at the same rate. Find the quantity Q(t) of salt in the tank at time t > 0.

Answers

Answer:

The quantity of salt at time t is [tex]m_{salt} = (60)\cdot (30 - 29.833\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{10} })[/tex], where t is measured in minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of mass conservation for control volume indicates that:

[tex]\dot m_{in} - \dot m_{out} = \left(\frac{dm}{dt} \right)_{CV}[/tex]

Where mass flow is the product of salt concentration and water volume flow.

The model of the tank according to the statement is:

[tex](0.5\,\frac{pd}{gal} )\cdot \left(6\,\frac{gal}{min} \right) - c\cdot \left(6\,\frac{gal}{min} \right) = V\cdot \frac{dc}{dt}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]c[/tex] - The salt concentration in the tank, as well at the exit of the tank, measured in [tex]\frac{pd}{gal}[/tex].

[tex]\frac{dc}{dt}[/tex] - Concentration rate of change in the tank, measured in [tex]\frac{pd}{min}[/tex].

[tex]V[/tex] - Volume of the tank, measured in gallons.

The following first-order linear non-homogeneous differential equation is found:

[tex]V \cdot \frac{dc}{dt} + 6\cdot c = 3[/tex]

[tex]60\cdot \frac{dc}{dt} + 6\cdot c = 3[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dc}{dt} + \frac{1}{10}\cdot c = 3[/tex]

This equation is solved as follows:

[tex]e^{\frac{t}{10} }\cdot \left(\frac{dc}{dt} +\frac{1}{10} \cdot c \right) = 3 \cdot e^{\frac{t}{10} }[/tex]

[tex]\frac{d}{dt}\left(e^{\frac{t}{10}}\cdot c\right) = 3\cdot e^{\frac{t}{10} }[/tex]

[tex]e^{\frac{t}{10} }\cdot c = 3 \cdot \int {e^{\frac{t}{10} }} \, dt[/tex]

[tex]e^{\frac{t}{10} }\cdot c = 30\cdot e^{\frac{t}{10} } + C[/tex]

[tex]c = 30 + C\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{10} }[/tex]

The initial concentration in the tank is:

[tex]c_{o} = \frac{10\,pd}{60\,gal}[/tex]

[tex]c_{o} = 0.167\,\frac{pd}{gal}[/tex]

Now, the integration constant is:

[tex]0.167 = 30 + C[/tex]

[tex]C = -29.833[/tex]

The solution of the differential equation is:

[tex]c(t) = 30 - 29.833\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{10} }[/tex]

Now, the quantity of salt at time t is:

[tex]m_{salt} = V_{tank}\cdot c(t)[/tex]

[tex]m_{salt} = (60)\cdot (30 - 29.833\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{10} })[/tex]

Where t is measured in minutes.

uppose the correlation between two variables, math attitude (x) and math achievement (y) was found to be .78. Based on this statistic, we know that the proportion of the variability seen in math achievement that can be predicted by math attitude is:

Answers

Answer:

The proportion of the variability seen in math achievement that can be predicted by math attitude is 0.78, the same value as the correlation coefficient.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient r between this two variables is found to be 0.78.

This coefficient can be calculated as:

[tex]r=\dfrac{SSY'}{SSY}[/tex]

where SSY' is the sum of the squares deviation from the mean for the predicted value and SSY is the sum of the squares deviation from the mean for the criterion variable.

Then, the value of the coefficient r is giving the proportion of the variability seen in the criterion value Y that can be explained by the predictor variable X.

plane so that A is (0,0), B is (a,0), Cis (a, b), and Dis (0, b).
What formula can he use to determine the distance from point D to point A?

Answers

Answer:

Option (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle were A(0, 0), B(a, 0), C(a, b) and D(0, b)

Formula to determine the distance between two points with the vertices (x, y) and (x', y') is,

d = [tex]\sqrt{(x-x')^2+(y-y')^2}[/tex]

For the length of AD,

AD = [tex]\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(b-0)^2}[/tex]

     = [tex]\sqrt{b^2}[/tex]

     = b

Therefore, Option (B) will be the answer.

Find the equation of the line through the points (-3,-3) and (2,-1) using point-slope form. Then rewrite the
equation in slope-intercept form.

Answers

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope equation is y-y₁=m(x-x₁). Since we don't know our slope, we can use the formula [tex]m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex] to find the slope. All we have to do is use the coordinate we were given and plug it into the formula.

[tex]m=\frac{-1-(-3)}{2-(-3)} =\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Now that we have the slope, we can fill out the point-slope equation.

y-(-3)=2/5(x-(-3))

y+6=2/5(x+3)

This is the point-slope form.

Now, we can distribute and solve to get slope-intercept form.

y+6=2/5x+6/5

y=2/5x-24/5

Answers

Answer: Choice C  [tex]\{x | x \in \mathbb{R}, \ x > 5 \}[/tex]

The open circle means we do not include the endpoint, hence the use of a greater than symbol. If we were to include the endpoint, then we'd have greater than or equal to. We can rule out choice B due to this reasoning.

The ray pointing to the right indicates we are talking about x values larger than 5, so we can rule out choice A and conclude the answer is C.

The converging sequence of geometric progression is given by the relation A = 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 ... where the common ratio r = 1/2

What is Geometric Progression?

A geometric progression is a sequence in which each term is derived by multiplying or dividing the preceding term by a fixed number called the common ratio.

The nth term of a GP is aₙ = arⁿ⁻¹

The general form of a GP is a, ar, ar2, ar3 and so on

Sum of first n terms of a GP is Sₙ = a(rⁿ-1) / ( r - 1 )

Given data ,

Let the geometric progression be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

A = 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 ...

Now , the common ratio r of the GP is

r = second term / first term

On simplifying , we get

r = ( 1/2 ) / 1

r = 1/2

So , when | r | < 1 , the GP is a converging series

Hence , the GP is converging series

let speed of freight train be x

speed of passenger train = x+6

Passenger train distance = 280 miles

freight train 250 milesthe times taken for these distances is the same

280/(x+6)=250/x

280x=250(x+6)

280x=250x+1500

30x = 1500

x= 50 mph the speed of freight train.

x+6= 50+6 = 56mph = speed of passenger train.
