Mr. stratford is the president of a national organization of lesbian, bisexual, gay, and transgender people in the united states. he wants to survey 1,000 members of his organization about the position they want the organization to take on several political issues. he knows that transgender people make up only 5 percent of his organization, but he wants to make sure that their views are accurately represented. he decides that he will randomly sample 100 transgender members and then adjust the final results so that transgender people are weighted to their actual proportion in the organization. is mr. stratford collecting a representative sample?
1. no, because straight people are not included in the sample.2. yes, because the transgender people in the final sample were sampled randomly from the population of transgender people in the organization.3. no, because the transgender people are over-represented in the final sample.4. yes, because 1,000 people is enough to make a representative sample.

2. Yes, because the transgender people in the final sample were sampled randomly from the population of transgender people in the organization.

Explanation:

Representative sample:

A representative sample is a group that closely matches the characteristics of its population as a whole.

There are some occasions where it is necessary to collect data from each member of the population because the opinion of greater number of people is more important and accurate than a single one. But we cannot survey the whole organization. So what Mr. Stratford did is that he took a sample to accurately obtain the views of transgender members and then mapped the results to the actual proportion of transgenders in the organization.

A representative sample allows the collected information to be abstracted to a greater population. A representative sample is a small number of people that reflect, as accurately as possible, a larger group. Hence, what Mr.Stratford is collecting is a representative sample.

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
