I order each county's adult population and then randomly pick 4% from each county.
b. Describe how you would select a stratified sample if the counties define the strata. (5 pts)
Suppose this population has been ordered insome way. Select I individual randomly from
the first 25 and then every zs" person fromthere forward. For example, if the population
were 1000 then 4% would be 40 people. I randomly select #16 as the first person inthe
sample and then the 16+25lh=4l5t, then the 41+25=66lh, then the 66+25=91'\ etc.
a. Describe how you would select a systematic sample. (5 pts)
3. Suppose you wish to sample 4% of metropolitan Atlanta's adult population about a political
lSSUC.

Looking at the shape of the dot plot the data could be thought of as either symmetric (there's
essentially the same number of data points in both tails), but most agreed that the data is
more skewed right (the direction of the tail). Given the data values arc from I to 23 and
more than half are valued 9 or less one could argue that the left side ismore "data heavy"
thanthe right.
g. Do you think this data issymmetric or skewed (left or right)? Explain. (5 pts)
Q3 + 17.25 =34.25 which islarger than the largest value inthe sample so there arc no large
values that are outliers.
Q l- 17 .25 isnegative so there are no small values that arc outliers.
l .5*(1QR)- = 17 .25.
f. Can any of the data be considered outliers? Why or why not? (5 pts)
