Question

QUESTION 1 We wish to choose a simple random sample of size three from the following employees of a small company. 1. Bechhofer 4. Kesten 7. Taylor 2. Brown 5. Kiefer 8. Wald 3. Ito 6. Spitzer 9. Weiss To do this, we will use the numerical labels attached to the names above. We will also use the following list of random digits, reading the list from left to right, starting at the beginning of the list. 11793 20495 05907 11384 44982 20751 27498 12009 45287 71753 98236 66419 Which of the following statements is true?

a. If we use another list of random digits to select the sample, the result obtained with the list actually used would be just as likely to be selected as any other set of three names.

b. If we use another list of random digits to select the sample, the result obtained with the list actually used would be far less likely to be selected than any other set of three names.

c. If we use another list of random digits to select the sample, we would get the same result as obtained with the list actually used.

d. If we use another list of random digits to select the sample, we would get a completely different sample than that obtained with the list actually used. e. If we use another list of random digits to select the sample, we would get, at most, one name in common with that obtained with the list actually used.

Answer 1

The true statements are as follows:-

a. If we use another list of random digits to select the sample, the result obtained with the list actually used would be just as likely to be selected as any other set of three names.
