According to exit polls, the voting "gender gap" was 22 points in the 2016 House of Representatives election; that is, women voted for Democrats by 10 percentage points, and men voted for Republicans by 12 percentage points. Political scientists are curious to see if this gap holds- or increases- in 2018, but statisticians might be more interested in the processes behind exit polling and the rellabllity of thelr results. When conducting exit polls, pollsters will randomly select a certain number of precincts, then attempt to get all the voters leaving the polling place to participate in their poll. If they can't get all voters, they will instead attempt to get every nth voter to participate. Many polling companies believe that Democrats are more likely to agree to an exit poll than Republicans or Independents.
Of course, not everyone votes in the morning/mid-afternoon of the election. To get an idea of the preferences of people who voted in the precinct before election day, typically by absentee ballots, companies will attempt a random telephone survey of those voters. Exit polls often wrap up and leave the field before voting stations close, so people voting in the last couple hours of the day may also be missed
(a) What type of sampling methods are used in selecting people for exit polls?
a. Simple Random Sampling
b. Cluster Sampling
c. Stratified Sampling
d. Convenience Sampling
e. Systematic Sampling
(b) Why do the polllng companles randomly select the preclncts to vislt?
a. Randomly selecting precincts to assign pollsters ensures that the companies can conclude a cause and effect relationship between the voters' beliefs and their voting pattern
b. There are too many precincts to manually select, so they are forced to randomly select them
c. Randomly selecting precincts increases the likelihood that the people polled represent the population well.

A) cluster sampling ( b ) and systematic sampling ( e )

B ) Randomly selecting precincts increases the likelihood that the people polled represent the population well. ( c )

Step-by-step explanation:

Cluster sampling is a type of sampling plan used when there is an internally heterogeneous groups can be found inside a population that is supposed to be mutually  homogeneous . while systematic sampling is a type of probability sampling that involves the selection of samples from a larger population at random but using a specific interval. to get the systematic sample the larger population is divided by the sample size.

from the information available in the report it is very evident that not all voters can be captured at once hence cluster sampling and systematic sampling would be employed .  

B) the company will randomly select precinct to increase the likelihood of the sample size representing the entire population very well

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
