When the selection of one element from the population influe

When the selection of one element from the population influences the selection of another element, the sample:

d. is a simple random sample.

The number of simple random samples of size 20 that can be selected from a finite population of size 25 is:

d. 20

Suppose the salaries of university professors are approximately normally distributed with a mean of $65,000 and a standard deviation of $7,000. If a random sample of size 25 is taken and the mean is calculated, what is the probability that the mean value will be between $62,500 and $64,000?

d. 0.1465

Suppose candidate A for a town council seat receives 43% of the votes in an election. As voters leave the polls they are asked who they voted for. What is the probability that less than 40% of the 80 voters surveyed indicate they voted for candidate A? Assume an infinite population.

d. .1368
