Identify a sample design to use for collecting data on rancidity problems with a shipment rice bran. Using nutracea as case study www.nutracea.com. Please include the advantages and disadvantages to systematic sampling. (Ex: http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=128).
Variables such as height and weight are generally normally distributed (for example, population would take shape of a normal curve). Discuss at least two samples in which you would not expect this to be true. Explain how the shape of the curve would differ from the norm and why it would differ.
Please provide step by step guidance. A partner company to American Intellectual Union (AIU), Universal Credit Inc., would like to examine the required sample size needed to be able to estimate the mean dollars that each card holder will spend each month. It would like to be within plus or minus $55 of the true mean with a 95
1. People in a large population average 60 inches tall. You will take a random sample and will be given a dollar for each person in your sample who is over 65 inches tall. For example if you sample 100 people and 20 turn out to be over 65 inches tall, you will get $20. Which is better: a sample of size 100 or a sample of siz
