A biology teacher wants to know which dissection his students liked best this semester, so he randomly selects eights students from each of his 5 classes to participate in a survey. a. What is the sample in this situation?

b. What is the population?

THIS IS NOT MULTIPLE CHOICE​

Answers:

Explanation:

The teacher wants to know something about his students, so he's only focused on them and no one else. The teacher has 5 classes. Let's say each class has 40 students. That would mean 40*5 = 200 students total are taught by this bio teacher, and these 200 students make up the population. We're not considering any other student in this school since they are not in this teacher's class.

Once the population is well formed and well defined, the sample is drawn from the population. Specifically, the teacher is randomly selecting 8 people from each class. The teacher is using the stratified sample technique. Each class is a stratum, ie, a separate group. The plural of stratum is strata. Because there are 5 classes, and 8 people selected per class, this leads to an overall sample of 8*5 = 40 students. Those 40 students chosen randomly fairly represent the 200 students in the population. Therefore, this process is fairly unbiased.

Be sure not to mix stratified sampling with cluster sampling. Cluster sampling is not performed here because that would mean the teacher randomly selects say 2 classrooms (ie clusters) and samples everyone in each cluster selected. Instead, the teacher is only picking representatives from each class, as if those people were elected to office. As you can probably guess, cluster sampling can be expensive in terms of time and money, so if you need to apply a cluster sample, then it's best to make the clusters as small as possible but also make sure each cluster is reflective of the population.

the answer to your equation is 53/3

Step-by-step explanation:

the easiest way to do it is to multiply the denominator (bottom number of bar line) by the whole number at which it makes it a mixed number, then add the numerator (top number of fraction bar line) to your product.

hope this helped ((; brainliest please !!
