Match terms a-e with statements. a. population b. representative sample c. random sample d. sample e. survey. All those people with the characteristics the researcher wants to study within the context of a particular research question.

An experiment is performed to test the effects of a new drug on high blood pressure. The experimenter identifies 320 people ages 35 - 50 years old with high blood pressure for participation in the experiment. The subjects are divided into equal groups according to age. Within each group, subjects are then randomly selected to be in either the treatment group or the control group. What type of experimental design is being used for this experiment?

Which sampling technique produced the closest estimate to the population mean?

Select one type of sampling technique and write a report on how statisticians obtain that type of sample. Also indicate when that type of sampling technique may be preferred. List two examples of when the sampling technique may be used.

Sara came across a new website that featured a “live” fortune-teller. She typed in three questions and found (shockingly) that the fortune-teller could only answer yes or no to her questions. Draw a tree diagram for all possible answers for her three questions. Find the probability that (a) All answers will be yes or all answers will be no. (b) The answers will alternate (i.e., Yes–No–Yes or No–Yes–No). (c) Exactly two answers will be yes.

Multiply. Write each product in scientific notation. a. (3 × 10^4)(6 × 10^5) b. (1.2 × 10^-3)(4 × 10^-6)

Consider a system that supports 5,000 users. Suppose that you want to allow 4,990 of these users to be able to access one file. a. How would you specify this protection scheme in UNIX? b. Can you suggest another protection scheme that can be used more effectively for this purpose than the scheme provided by UNIX?

The average cow produces about 53 pounds of milk per day. If one gallon of milk weighs about 8.5 pounds, estimate the number of gallons of milk a cow produces each day. Explain why your estimate is reasonable.

Complete each equation.

$$5 \frac { 1 } { 2 } m i = \ ? \ f t$$

Let $T$ be the relation $\{(3,1),(2,3),(3,5),(2,2),(1,6),(2,6),(1,2)\}$. Find (a) Dom $(T)$. (b) Rng $(T)$. (c) $T^{-1}$. (d) $(T^{-1})^{-1}$.

Find the sum or difference.

$$\frac { 3 } { x + 4 } - \frac { 1 } { x + 6 }$$

Indicate whether each statement is true or false. If a system undergoes a reversible process, the change in entropy of the system is exactly matched by an equal and opposite change in the entropy of the surroundings.

Find the horizontal asymptotes of the function by computing the limits at infinity.

$$f ( u ) = \frac { 2 u ^ { 2 } - 1 } { \sqrt { 6 + u ^ { 4 } } }$$
