Jason and Yolanda both drew a simple random sample from a non-normally distributed population of 25,000. Jason’s sample consisted of 0. 24% of the population, while Yolanda’s sample consisted of 0. 32% of the population. Whose sample can be used to make inferences about the population? neither Jason’s sample nor Yolanda’s sample only Jason’s sample only Yolanda’s sample both Jason’s sample and Yolanda’s sample.

Respuesta :

Both the sample can be used to make inferences about the population.

Given that,

Jason and Yolanda both drew a simple random sample from a non-normally distributed population of 25,000.

Jason’s sample consisted of 0.24% of the population, while Yolanda’s sample consisted of 0.32% of the population.

We have to find,

Whose sample can be used to make inferences about the population?

According to the question,

Total number of population = 25000

Percent of the sample of Jason = 0.24%

Percent of the sample of Yolanda's = 0.32%

Then,

The number of the population according to Jason's sample is given by,

[tex]=\dfrac{ Sample \ of \ population \ in \ percentage}{100} \times {Total \ number \ of \ population}\\\\= \dfrac{0.24}{100} \times 25,000\\\\= 0.24 \times 250\\\\= 60[/tex]

And the number of the population according to Yolanda's sample is given by,

[tex]=\dfrac{ Sample \ of \ population \ in \ percentage}{100} \times {Total \ number \ of \ population}\\\\= \dfrac{0.32}{100} \times 25,000\\\\= 0.24 \times 250\\\\= 80[/tex]

Hence, Both the sample can be used to make inferences about the population.
