A presidential election poll contacts 2,000 randomly selected people. Should the number of people that support candidate A be analyzed using discrete or continuous probability models?
A recent study suggested that 70% of all eligible voters will vote in the next presidential election. Suppose 20 eligible voters were randomly selected from the population of all eligible voters. Use a binomial probability table to find the probability that more than 12 of the eligible voters sampled will vote in the next presidential election.
Determine whether the sampling method is random, systematic, or stratified. Tell whether the method will produce a good sample. A pollster randomly selects 100 people from each town in a certain candidate’s district to see if they support the candidate.
