1. A sample of pages from this book is to be obtained, and the number of words on each selected page will be determined. For the purposes of this exercise, equations are not counted as words and a number is counted as a word only if it is spelled out-that is, ten is counted as
a word, but 10 is not.
a. Describe a sampling procedure that would result in a simple random sample of pages from this book.
b. Describe a sampling procedure that would result in a strati?ed random sample. Explain why you chose the speci?c strata used in your sampling plan.
c. Describe a sampling procedure that would result in a systematic sample.
d. Describe a sampling procedure that would result in a cluster sample.
e. Using the process you gave in Part (a), select a simple random sample of at least 20 pages, and record the number of words on each of the selected pages. Construct a dotplot of the resulting sample values, and write a sen- tence or two commenting on what it reveals about the number of words on a page.
f. Using the process you gave in Part (b), select a strati?ed random sample that includes a total of at least 20 selected pages, and record the number of words on each of the selected pages. Construct a dotplot of the resulting sample values, and write a sentence or two commenting on what it reveals about the number of words on a page.

Are there sources of bias that may still be a concern
: If you didn't, you'd primarily get women and older people. Comment on this approach to selecting a sample. How does the sampling procedure attempt to minimize certain types of bias? Are there sources of bias that may still be a concern?

How would you respond to this criticism
: He is quoted by the Associated Press (January 30, 2000) as saying, "Field's sample in that poll equates to one out of 17,505 voters," and he added that this was so dishonest that Field should get out of the polling business! If you worked on the ..

Gallons and standard deviation
: A gasoline tank for a certain car is designed to hold 15 gallons of gas. Suppose that the variable x = actual capacity of a randomly selected tank has a distribution that is well approximated by a normal curve with mean 15.0 gallons and standard d..
