ANSWER:
Solution:
Step 1 of 2:
We have to find a sample of size 4 for each of the following populations:
- All distances that might result when you throw a football.
- Page lengths of books published 5 years from now.
- All possible earthquake-strength measurements that might be recorded in California during the next Year.
- All possible yields from a certain chemical reaction carried out in a laboratory.
