For which of the following scenarios does the 10% condition apply? (1 point) a sample 150 out of 300 participants a sample of 65 out of 675 apples a sample of 200 out of 1,000 athletes a sample of 10 out of 80 students

1 answer

The 10% condition typically applies in statistical sampling when you are sampling without replacement. The condition states that if your sample size is less than 10% of the population size, the sampling can be considered as approximately independent.

Let's evaluate each option:

  1. A sample of 150 out of 300 participants:

    • Sample size = 150, Population size = 300
    • 150 is 50% of 300, which is greater than 10%.
  2. A sample of 65 out of 675 apples:

    • Sample size = 65, Population size = 675
    • 65 is about 9.63% of 675, which is less than 10%.
  3. A sample of 200 out of 1,000 athletes:

    • Sample size = 200, Population size = 1,000
    • 200 is 20% of 1,000, which is greater than 10%.
  4. A sample of 10 out of 80 students:

    • Sample size = 10, Population size = 80
    • 10 is 12.5% of 80, which is greater than 10%.

From the above evaluations, the scenario where the 10% condition applies is:

A sample of 65 out of 675 apples.
