Each variety of cornthat has been and will be planted on all kinds of plots make up the population.(b) The characteristic of interest is the yield of each variety of corn at the time ofharvest.(c) There are three samples, one for each variety of corn. Each variety of corn thatwas planted on the 10 randomly selected plots make up the sample.3.(a) There are two populations, one for each shift.The cars that have been andwill be produced on each shift make up the population.(b) The populations are hypothetical.(c) The characteristic of interest is the number of nonconformances per car.4.(a) The population consists of the all domestic flights, past or future.(b) The sample consists of the 175 domestic flights.(c) The characteristic of interest is the air quality, quantified by the degree ofstaleness.5.(a) There are two populations, one for each teaching method.(b) The population consists of all students who took or will take a statistics coursefor engineering using one of each teaching methods.(c) The populations are hypothetical.(d) The samples consist of the students whose scores will be recorded at the endof the semester.

The second choice provides a closer approximation to simple random sample.2.(a) It is not a simple random sample.(b) In (a), each member of the population does not have equal chance to beselected, thus it is not a simple random sample. Instead, the method describedin (a) is a stratified sampling.3.(a) The population includes all the drivers in the university town.(b) The student’s classmates do not constitute a simple random sample.(c) It is a convenient sample.(d) Young college students are not experienced drivers, thus they tend to use seatbelts less.Consequently, the sample in this problem will underestimate theproportion.4. We identify each person with a number from 1 to 70. Then we write each numberfrom 1 to 70 on separate, identical slips of paper, put all 70 slips of paper in a box,and mix them thoroughly. Finally, we select 15 slips from the box, one at a time,without replacement.The 15 selected numbers specify the desired sample of sizen= 15 from the 70 iPhones. The R command isy = sample(seq(1,70), size=15)A sample set is 52 8 14 48 62 6 70 35 18 20 3 41 50 27 40.5. We identify each pipe with a number from 1 to 90.Then we write each numberfrom 1 to 90 on separate, identical slips of paper, put all 90 slips of paper in a box,and mix them thoroughly. Finally, we select 5 slips from the box, one at a time,without replacement.The 5 selected numbers specify the desired sample of sizen= 5 from the 90 drain pipes. The R command isy = sample(seq(1,90), size=5),A sample set is7 38 65 71 57.6.(a) We identify each client with a number from 1 to 1000.Then we write eachnumber from 1 to 1000 on separate, identical slips of paper, put all 1000 slipsof paper in a box, and mix them thoroughly. Finally, we select 100 slips fromthe box, one at a time, without replacement. The 100 selected numbers specifythe desired sample of sizen= 100 from the 1000 clients.

Then combine thethree subsamples together.(c) The R command for part (a) isy = sample(seq(1,1000), size=100)and the R command for part (b) isy1 = sample(seq(1,800), size=80)y2 = sample(seq(801,950), size=15)y3 = sample(seq(951,1000), size=5)y = c(y1, y2, y3)7. One method is to take a simple random sample of sizenfrom the population ofNcustomers (of all dealerships of that car manufacturer) who bought a car theprevious year.The second method is to divide the population of the previous year’s customers intothree strata according to the type of car each customer bought and perform stratifiedsampling with proportional allocation of sample sizes. That is, ifN1,N2,N3denotethe sizes of the three strata, take simple random samples of approximate sizes (dueto round-off)n1=n(N1/N),n2=n(N2/N),n3=n(N3/N), respectively, fromeach of the three strata. Stratified sampling assures that the sample representationof the three strata equals their population representation.8. It is not a simple random sample because products from facility B have a smallerchance to be selected than products from facility A.9. No, because the method excludes samples consisting ofn1cars from the first shiftandn2= 9−n1from the second shift for any (n1, n2) different from (6,3).1.4Random Variables and Statistical Populations1.(a) The variable of interest is the number of scratches in each plate. The statisticalpopulation consists of 500 numbers, 190 zeros, 160 ones, and 150 twos.(b) The variable of interest is quantitative.(c) The variable of interest is univariate.2.(a) Statistical population: If there areNundergraduate students enrolled at PSU,the statistical population is a list of lengthNand thei-th element in the list isthe major of thei-th student. The variable of interest is qualitative. Anotherpossible variable: gender.

The variable of interest is quantitative. Another possiblevariable: food type.(c) Statistical population: If there areNbooks in Penn State libraries, the sta-tistical population consists of a list ofNnumbers, and thei-th element is thecheck-out frequency of thei-th book in the library. The variable of interest isquantitative. Another possible variable: pages of the book.(d) Statistical population: If there areNsteel cylinders made in the given month,the population consists of a list ofNnumbers, and thei-th element is thediameter of thei-th steel cylinder made in the given month. The variable ofinterest is quantitative. Another possible variable: weight.3.(a) The variable of interest is univariate.(b) The variable of interest is quantitative.(c) IfNis the number cars of available for inspection, the statistical populationconsists ofNnumbers,{v1,· · ·, vN}, whereviis the total number of engineand transmission nonconformances of theith car.(d) If the number of nonconformances in the engine and transmission are recordedseparately for each car, the new variable would be bivariate.4.(a) The variable of interest is the degree of staleness. Statistical population consistsof a list of 175 numbers, and thei-th number is the degree of staleness of theair in thei-th domestic flight.(b) The variable of interest is quantitative.(c) The variable of interest is univariate.5.(a) The variable of interest is the type of car a customer bought and his/hersatisfaction level. Statistical population: If there areNcustomers who boughta new car in the previous year, the statistical population is a list ofNelements,and thei-th element is the car type thei-th customer bought along with his/hersatisfaction level, which is a number between 1 to 6.(b) The variable of interest is bivariate.(c) The variable of interest has two components. The first is qualitative and thesecond is quantitative.1.5Basic Graphics for Data Visualization1. The histogram produced by the commands is shown as following:

The scatterplot is shown below. From the scatter plot, it seems that if the waitingtime before eruption is longer, the duration is also longer.50607080901.52.02.53.03.54.04.55.0waitingeruptions4.(a) The scatterplot matrix is given below. From the figure, it seems that the lati-tude is a better predictor of the temperature because as the latitude changes,the temperature shows a clear pattern, while there is no pattern as the longi-tude changes.
