I. The sample size of the survey should at least be a fixed percentage of the
population size in order to produce representative results.
True
II. The sampling frame is a list of every item that appears in a survey sample,
including those that did not respond to questions.
False( including those things which will respond to our questions)
III. Larger surveys convey a more accurate impression of the population than
smaller surveys.
True
II. If the 95% confidence interval for the number of moviegoers who purchase
concessions is 30% to 45%, this means that fewer than half of all moviegoers
purchase concessions.
III. The 95% Confidence-Interval for μ only applies if the sample data are nearly
normally distributed.

I. If the sample were based on 2,000 users, could Microsoft conclude that
Mozilla has a less than 5% share of the market?
II. WebSideStory claims that its sample includes all the daily Internet users. If
that’s the case, then can Microsoft conclude that Mozilla has a less than 5%
share of the market?
C. The procedure that produced this interval generates ranges that hold the
population mean for 95% of samples.
D. If we get another sample, then we can be 95% sure that the mean of this
second sample is between 205 and 295.
E. We can be 95% confident that the range 160 to 340 holds the population
mean.
