The answer is naturalistic observation: you set up a camera to record a hundred such interactions and you watch the results.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Naturalistic Observation: This is the correct answer. Naturalistic observation involves observing subjects in their natural environment without any manipulation or interference. In this scenario, setting up a camera to record interactions among high school students during class breaks and then watching the results fits this definition, as you are observing the students in their natural setting without altering their behavior.

  2. Experiment: This option is incorrect. An experiment typically involves manipulating one or more variables to determine their effect on a dependent variable, often with a control group for comparison. In this case, there is no manipulation of variables or control group; you are simply observing behavior.

  3. Case Study: This option is incorrect. A case study involves an in-depth analysis of a single case or a small number of cases, often focusing on unique or interesting situations. The scenario described involves observing a large number of interactions (a hundred), which does not align with the detailed, focused nature of a case study.

  4. Survey: This option is incorrect. A survey involves collecting data from subjects through questionnaires or interviews to gather information about their opinions, behaviors, or characteristics. In this scenario, you are not asking students questions or collecting self-reported data; you are observing their interactions directly.

A paint manufacturer uses a machine to fill gallon cans with paint (1 gal = 128 ounces). The manufacturer wants to estimate the mean volume of paint the machine is putting in the cans within 0.7 ounce. Assume the population of volumes is normally distributed (a) Determine the minimum sample size required to construct a 90% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.84 ounce. (b) The sample mean is 127 ounces. With a sample size of 7 a 90% level of confidence, and a population standard deviation of 0.84 ounce, does it seem possible that the population mean could be exactly 128 ounces? Explain.
