Which of the following statements about cluster sampling is false? a. Ideally, each cluster is a representative small-scale version of the entire population b. It provides the best results when the elements within the clusters are not alike c. All elements within the randomly selected clusters form the sample d. It generally requires a smaller total sample size than simple random sampling

Which of the following is a true statement? A. The larger the sample, the larger the spread in the sampling distribution. B. Bias has to do with the spread of a sampling distribution. C. Provided that the population size is significantly greater than the sample size, the spread of the sampling distribution does not depend on the population size. D. Sample parameters are used to make inferences about population statistics. E. Statistics from smaller samples have less variability.

Which of the following is a false statement about simple random samples? A. A sample must be reasonably large to be properly considered a simple random sample. B. Inspection of a sample will give no indication of whether or not it is a simple random sample. C. Attributes of a simple random sample may be very different from attributes of the population. D. Every element of the population has an equal chance of being picked. E. Every sample of the desired size has an equal chance of being picked.
Which of the following statements is not true for sampling distributions? (a) A sampling distribution is necessary for making confidence statements about an unknown population parameter. (b) When sampling at random from a normal population, the sampling distribution for the sample average is a normal distribution. (c) A sampling distribution depends on the nature of the population being sampled. (d) None of the above.
