Unbiased and Biased Samples
Determine whether each conclusion is valid. Justify your answer.
1. To evaluate the defect rate of its memory chips, an integrated circuit manufacturer
tests every 100th chip off the production line. Out of 10 chips tested, one chip is found
to be defective. The manufacturer concludes that 3 chips out of 3,000 will be defective.
2. Students who wish to represent the school at a school board meeting are asked to stop
by the office after lunch. After lunch, 5 students wish to represent the school.
3. To determine if the class understood the homework assignment, the math teacher
checks the top 3 papers in the pile of collected homework. The teacher finds that all
students understood the homework assignment.
4. A member of the cafeteria staff asks every fifth student leaving the cafeteria to rank
5 vegetables from most favorite to least favorite. She finds that corn is one of the
favorite vegetables.
5. One bead for every member of the school orchestra is placed in a bag. All but 2 of the
beads are white. Each member draws a bead from the bag, and the members who pick
the non-white beads will represent the orchestra. It is predicted that two different
instrument players will choose the white beads.
6. A real estate agent surveys people about their housing preferences at an open house for
a luxury townhouse. He finds that most people prefer townhomes.
7. To determine the most popular children’s programs, a television station asks parents to
call in and complete a phone survey. The television station finds that the children’s
programs that are animated are the most popular.

Lesson 4 Extra Practice
Compare Populations
1. The double box plot below shows the number of car shows attended by
two car clubs each year. Compare the centers and variations of the two
populations. Which car club attends more car shows?
Sample answer: The data for the Cruisers has a median of 9
shows with an interquartile range of 6 shows. The data for the
Car Hops has a median of 11 shows with an interquartile range of
4 shows. The Car Hops data are centered around a higher value,
but the variation is less. So, the data for the Car Hops is more
consistent.
2. The double box plot below shows the results of a school survey about
types of lunch purchased. Compare the centers and variations of the
two populations. Which type of lunch was preferred by more students?
Sample answer: The data for full lunch has a median of 110
students with an interquartile range of 80 students. The data for
a la carte lunches has a median of 160 students with an
interquartile range of 140 students. The a la carte data are
centered around a higher value and have a greater variation.
