Exercises 5–9: random selection and random assignment
take another look at the two studies described above. study a (the dog food study) is an experiment, while study b (text messages) is an observational study. the term random sample
implies that a sample was randomly selected from a population. the terms random selection and random assignment have very different meanings.
random selection refers to randomly selecting a sample from a population. random selection allows generalization to a population and is used in well-designed observational studies.
sometimes, but not always, the subjects in an experiment are randomly selected.
random assignment refers to randomly assigning the subjects in an experiment to treatments. random assignment allows for cause-and-effect conclusions and is used in
well-designed experiments.
in study b, the data were collected from two random samples of students.
5. can the results of the survey be generalized to all ninth-grade and all eleventh-grade students at the school? why or why not? discuss the answer with your partner.

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.
