6 Sampling Techniques Quota sampling

Advantage of systematic sampling: The
sample is more evenly spread out over the
population (esp. when students found in
canteen during break time usually come from
the same classes or levels)
7 Sampling Theory
(600 606) 0.902 P X < < =
Assumptions: The 60 samples are chosen
randomly and the mass of peanuts in the 60
packets are independent.

10 Poisson Distribution
Least integer value of =3; 0.0840
11 Correlation and Regression (i) x and t appear to have a curvilinear
relationship.
(ii) (a) r =0.982 (between t and lnx)
(b) r =0.949 (between t
2
and lnx)
(iii) The model lnx a bt = + is better
(iv) Use the regression line of lnx on t, t =21.4
