Question

question 5 of 10 jake and mary are both members of a population, and a simple random sample is being conducted. if the chance of jake being selected is \\(\frac{1}{800}\\), what is the chance of mary being selected? a. \\(\frac{1}{8}\\) b. \\(\frac{1}{80}\\) c. \\(\frac{1}{800}\\) d. \\(\frac{1}{8000}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall simple random sample rule

In a simple random sample, every individual in the population has an equal probability of being selected.

Step2: Apply rule to Mary's selection

Since Jake's selection probability is $\frac{1}{800}$, Mary (as a member of the same population) has the same probability.

Answer:

C. $\frac{1}{800}$
