1. A study was conducted at a local high school to analyze the average cumulative GPAs of
students who graduated last year. Fill in the letter of the phrase that best describes each
of the items below. (6 points)

(i) Population: F
(ii) Sample: D
(iii) Parameter: E
(iv) Statistic: G
(v) Variable: B
(vi) Data: C

(a) all students who attended the high school last year
(b) the cumulative GPA of one student who graduated from the high school last year
(c) 3.65, 2.80, 1.50, 3.90
(d) a group of students who graduated from the high school last year, randomly
selected
(e) the average cumulative GPA of students who graduated from the high school last
year
(f) all students who graduated from the high school last year
(g) the average cumulative GPA of students in the study who graduated from the high
school last year
2. Determine the population, sample, parameter, statistic, variable, and data referred to in
the following study:

We want to know the mean amount of extracurricular activities in which high school
students participate. We randomly surveyed 100 high school students. Three of those
students were in 2, 5, and 7 extracurricular activities, respectively. (6 points)

(a) Population: All high school students participate in extracurricular activities

(b) Sample: 100 high school students randomly surveyed

(c) Parameter: Mean amount of extracurricular activities in which high school


students participate

(d) Statistic: Mean amount of extracurricular activities in which sample of high


school students participate

(e) Variable: The amount of extracurricular activities by one high school student.

(f) Data: The number of extracurricular activities the high school students participate
which is 2, 5, and 7.

3. Find a population, a sample, the parameter, the statistic, a variable, and data for the
following study:

You want to determine the average—mean—number of glasses of milk college students


drink per day. Suppose yesterday, in your English class, you asked five students how
many glasses of milk they drank the day before. The answers were 1, 0, 1, 3, and 4
glasses of milk. (6 points)

(a) Population: All college students who drink glasses of milk per day

(b) Sample: Five students in English class

(c) Parameter: Average-mean-number of glasses of milk college students drink per


day

(d) Statistic: Average-mean-number of glasses of milk in the study college students


drink per day

(e) Variable: Mean-number of glasses of milk of one college students who drink per
day
(f) Data: 1, 0, 1, 3, and 4 glasses of milk.

4. Suppose I have a total of 650 students in my Mathematics in the Modern World classes
and their final grades are distributed as follows:

A B+ B C+ C D F
15 56 98 152 215 62 52

Using stratified sampling, how many respondents will be obtained from each strata?
