1. In the following situation identify the implied population.
A recent report on the weekly news presented the findings of a study on the
effectiveness of Onglyza, along with diet and exercise, for treating diabetes.
Answer: Implied Population: The implied population in this situation would be all individuals
with diabetes who are using Onglyza along with diet and exercise as a treatment for their
condition. The study likely focused on this group to assess the effectiveness of this specific
treatment approach.
2. In the following scenario identify the type of statistical study that was conducted.
A Gallop poll surveyed 1,018 adults by telephone, and 22% of them reported that
they smoked cigarettes within the past week.
Answer: Type of Statistical Study: The Gallup poll conducted a survey study since it involved
collecting data from a sample (1,018 adults) through a survey to make inferences about the
broader population of adults regarding smoking behavior.
3. In the following scenario what is the statistic and the parameter it would estimate.
A recent study of 460 drivers age 70 and over by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration reported that 75% of those drivers had uncorrected vision
problems.
