During every election in a particular region, pollsters conduct exit polls to determine which candidate people voted for. during the most recent election, pollsters incorrectly predicted candidate a the winner over candidate b. when asked how this error could have happened, the pollsters cited interviewer error due to the fact that since many of the interviewers were young, only young voters selected in the sample agreed to be interviewed, and young voters tended to favor candidate a. plus a computer error caused some responses to be deleted before tabulation of the results. in addition, the method of selecting individuals to be interviewed led to selecting a lower proportion of female voters, and candidate b was favored by females. explain which nonsampling errors led to the incorrect conclusion regarding the election select all nonsampling errors that led to the incorrect conclusion regarding the election below a. no nonsampling errors led to the incorrect conclusion in this case.
b. data-entry error is a nonsampling error that contributed to the incorrect conclusion because the errors in data entry favored candidate a.
c. nonresponse bias is a nonsampling error that contributed to the incorrect conclusion because the individuals who were selected for polling but did not respond voted differently than those who did respond to the polling.
d. interviewer error is a nonsampling error that contributed to the incorrect conclusion because the interviewers did not interview young voters.

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 25 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. how fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 14 ft high? (round your answer to two decimal places.) ft/min

Amachine that produces a special type of transistor (a component of computers) has a 2% defective rate. the production is considered a random process where each transistor is independent of the others. (a) what is the probability that the 10th transistor produced is the first with a defect? (b) what is the probability that the machine produces no defective transistors in a batch of 100? (c) on average, how many transistors would you expect to be produced before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (d) another machine that also produces transistors has a 5% defective rate where each transistor is produced independent of the others. on average how many transistors would you expect to be produced with this machine before the first with a defect? what is the standard deviation? (e) based on your answers to parts (c) and (d), how does increasing the probability of an event a↵ect the mean and standard deviation of the wait time until success?

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.
