 \nA)censusB)SRSC)stratified sample  \nD)observational studyE)experiment  \n    2.A factory has 20 assembly lines producing a popular toy.To inspect a representative sample of 100toys,quality control staff randomly selected 5 toys from each line's output.Was this a simple randomlina'a Antn₃   KXan'+hir    em  la rAAomsample?  \nA)Yes,because the toys were selected at random.  \nB)Yes,because each toy produced had an equal chance to be selected.  \nC)Yes,because a stratified sample is a type of simple random sample.  \nD)No,because not all combinations of 100 toys could have been chosen.  \nE)No,because toys do not come off the assembly line at random,  \n¹  \n 3.Which is true about sampling?  \nI.An attempt to take a census will always result in less bias than sampling.II.Sampling error is usually reduced when the sample size is larger.  \nH.Sampling error is the result of random variations and is always present.  \n# A)I onlyB)II onlyC)IⅢ onlyD)II and ⅢE)all three\n\n  4.The owner of a car dealership planned to develop strategies to increase sales.He hoped to learn thereasons why many people who visit his car lot do not eventually buy a car from him.For one month heasked his sales staff to keep a list of the names and addresses of everyone who came in to test drive acar.At the end of the month he sent surveys to the people who did not buy the car,asking them why.About one third of them returned the survey,with 44%of those indicating that they found a lower price  \n0elsewhere.Which is true?  \nI.The population of interest is all potential car buyers.II.This survey design suffered from non-response bias.  \nⅢI.Because it comes from a sample 44%is a parameter,not a statistic.  \nA)I onlyB)I onlyC)I and II onlyD)II and I onlyE)I,II,and II  \n  5.Does regular exercise decrease the risk of cancer?A researcher finds 200women over 50 whoexercise regularly,pairs each with a woman who has a similar medical history but does not exercise,then follows the subjects for 10 years to see which group develops more cancer.This is a  \nA)surveyB)retrospective studyC)prospective study  \nD)randomized experimentE)matched experiment  \n6.Which is important in designing a good experiment?
