An electronics store receives a shipment of eight boxes of calculators, with ten calculators in each box. a quality control inspector chooses a box by putting eight identical slips of paper numbered 1 to 8 into a hat and picking a slip at random. he then chooses a calculator at random from the box selected using a similar method with ten slips of paper in a hat. he repeats the process until he obtains a sample of 5 calculators for quality control testing. does this sampling plan result in a simple random sample? explain.

Yes, this sampling plan will result in a simple random sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is that -

The inspector chooses a box by putting eight identical slips of paper numbered 1 to 8 into a hat and picking a slip at random. This way ensures that any box will be chosen.

He then chooses a calculator at random from the box selected using a similar method with ten slips of paper in a hat. This way ensures that any calculator can be chosen.

We can see that the sample is RANDOM as all calculators have the same chance of being chosen. It is also a simple random sample as all samples of 5 calculators have the same chance of being chosen.

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have
