Statistics: Sample Surveys

Easy

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Easy of Mathematics

A research institute wants to know students' opinions on a new teaching method implemented in schools. They decided to interview a sample of 50 students from the 2nd year of High School in a specific region. How do you evaluate the representativeness of this sample to obtain reliable results regarding the total population of students in this grade in the region?
a.
To evaluate the representativeness of the sample, it is necessary to check if it was randomly selected and if it has similar characteristics to the total population of 2nd-year High School students in the region. Additionally, it is important to consider the sample size in relation to the population size.
b.
It is important to select only students with high grades to ensure the representativeness of the sample.
c.
The representativeness of the sample depends only on the total population size.
d.
It is not necessary to consider the sample size in relation to the population size to evaluate representativeness.
e.
The sample is representative if selected randomly, even if it has different characteristics from the total population.

In a civil engineering project, an architect needs to divide a rectangular plot of land into two equal parts for the construction of two semi-detached houses. The coordinates of the vertices of the land on the Cartesian plane are A(0, 0), B(30, 0), C(30, 20), and D(0, 20). Using concepts of analytic geometry, determine the coordinates of the point that represents the midpoint of side CD of the land, which will be the dividing point between the two new properties. Then, verify if the obtained midpoint point is indeed on segment CD, ensuring the accuracy of the project. Explain the reasoning used to determine the coordinates and to verify the positioning of the midpoint on the land.

In a science project, students need to measure different volumes of liquids for their experiments. The scale used to measure the volume of water can only measure in multiples of 100 milliliters. When measuring, the scale shows 450.725 grams of water. We know that the density of water is 1 g/ml. (1) Round the volume measured by the scale to the nearest milliliter. (2) Explain why the scale provided a number in grams instead of milliliters and how you used the density of water to convert the measurement back to volume in milliliters.

In a school, a survey was conducted on students who practiced sports. It was found that 60% of the students practiced soccer, 30% practiced volleyball, and 20% practiced both sports. If a student is randomly selected, what is the probability that he practices soccer, given that he practices volleyball?
