Question

40. If a golf professional is interested in determining whether a golf ball can be hit over 300 yards, which of the following relationships between the adjusted sample estimate of distance and the actual distance would represent sampling risk? a. Adjusted Estimate = 295 yards, Actual = 298 yards. b. Adjusted Estimate = 305 yards, Actual = 301 yards. c. Adjusted Estimate = 310 yards, Actual = 295 yards. d. All of the above are examples of sampling risk.

Answer 1

Option C => Adjusted Estimate = 310 yards, Actual = 295 yards.

Explanation:

This question wants to test us on sampling. Although, sampling can not give us the precised information needed, it can actually give us an estimation of what we need to know. Another thing to be noted is that sampling can be a Statistical sampling or a non-Statistical sampling.

The following are the steps that are used in sampling; define the population, measure samples and select sample items.

Sampling risk is the risk associated with the decision of the person doing the sampling which may be different from the actual or entire population. Hence, the Adjusted Estimate = 310 yards, Actual = 295 yards.
