A sample of 5 integers selected is shown. Does this sample represent the general rule for picking an integer from 1 to 25 in the population of integers from 1 to 1,000? Explain.

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The general rule for picking sample from a population at random ensures that all members of the population have equal chances of being selected.

Therefore to select 5 samples in the range 1 - 25 from a population of integers from 1 - 1000.

Firstly, befure we start selecting our samples directly from the population since we are not interested in all integers, we seperatw the integers belonging to our target samples from the population first, the we select 5 samples out of the sepwratwd integers between 1 - 25. This ensures that all our 5 samples will have integers between 1 - 25 becausw integers 1 - 25 is the range we want our specs to be within and not between 1 - 100.

However, from the trial samples recorded none of the samples have integer between 1 - 25 ; jnecw, the samples must have been chosen directly from the entire population of 1 - 1000
