The population is all of the wild elephants.  The sample is the 400 wild elephants selected.

The population here refers to the all the wild elephants that are present in that particular geography. This refers to the whole universe of wild elephants present in the area,

The sample is the 400 elephants that the biologist tranquilized to mesaure the length of their tusks.

So, to conclude, population = all wild elephants present and sample = 400 elephants that were tranquilized

Before the distribution of certain statistical software, every fourth compact disk (CD) is tested for accuracy. The testing proc
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

a) For this case we have 4 programs so then if we define the event R that a CD is tested we have the following probability for each test:

P(R) =\frac{1}{4} =0.25

The failure probability for each program are given by:

P(F_1) = 0.01 , P(F_2) = 0.03 , P(F_3) = 0.02 , P(F_4) = 0.01

For this case we assume that each test is independet form the others.

We can calculate the probability that all 4 programs works properly like this:

P(4 work) = (1-0.01)*(1-0.03)*(1-0.02)*(1-0.01)= 0.932

So then the probability that any program fails would be given by:

P(F) = 1- 0.932= 0.068

And if we use the fact that we have 4 possible test the true probability of interest would be:

P(R \cap F) = P(R)*P(F) = 0.25*0.068=0.017

b) p= P(F'_1) P(F'_4) *(1- P(F'_2)*P(F'_3))

And replacing we got:

p =(1-0.01)*(1-0.01) *[1- (1-0.03)(1-0.02)]= 0.99*0.99*[1- 0.97*0.98]= 0.0484

c) From part a we now that the probability that any program fails would be given by:

P(F) = 1- 0.932= 0.068

So then if we have 100 CDs the expected number of rejected Cd's are:

100*0.068= 6.8 \approx 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

For this case we have 4 programs so then if we define the event R that a CD is tested we have the following probability for each test:

P(R) =\frac{1}{4} =0.25

The failure probability for each program are given by:

P(F_1) = 0.01 , P(F_2) = 0.03 , P(F_3) = 0.02 , P(F_4) = 0.01

For this case we assume that each test is independet form the others.

We can calculate the probability that all 4 programs works properly like this:

P(4 work) = (1-0.01)*(1-0.03)*(1-0.02)*(1-0.01)= 0.932

So then the probability that any program fails would be given by:

P(F) = 1- 0.932= 0.068

And if we use the fact that we have 4 possible test the true probability of interest would be:

P(R \cap F) = P(R)*P(F) = 0.25*0.068=0.017

Part b

For this case we want the probability that it failed program 2 or 3

So then we can find this probability like this:

p= P(F'_1) P(F'_4) *(1- P(F'_2)*P(F'_3))

And replacing we got:

p =(1-0.01)*(1-0.01) *[1- (1-0.03)(1-0.02)]= 0.99*0.99*[1- 0.97*0.98]= 0.0484

Part c

From part a we now that the probability that any program fails would be given by:

P(F) = 1- 0.932= 0.068

So then if we have 100 CDs the expected number of rejected Cd's are:

100*0.068= 6.8 \approx 7

Rudik [331]

Answer:

The correct explanation is:

D. Statistical significance means that the result observed in a sample is unusual when the null hypothesis is assumed to be true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statistical significance gives a threshold to measure if a sample result or observed effect is due only to a sampling or it really reflects a characteristics of the population we are studying.

The level of statistical significance is usually 0.05 or 5%, depending on how strong the evidence needs to be and the consequences of the conclusions of the study, taking into account the Type I and Type II errors.
