In designing an experiment involving a treatment applied to 9 test​ subjects, researchers plan to use a simple random sample of 9 subjects selected from a pool of 27 available subjects.​ (Recall that with a simple random​ sample, all samples of the same size have the same chance of being​ selected.) Answer the questions below. a. How many different simple random samples are​ possible?

Answer:

4686825

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Researchers plan to use a simple random sample of 9 subjects selected from a pool of 27 available subjects.​

To Find :  How many different simple random samples are​ possible?

Solution:

Total subjects = 27

No. of subjects should be in sample = 9

So, to find How many different simple random samples are​ possible?

So, we will use combination

[tex]^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]

n = 27

r = 9

Substitute the values

[tex]^{27}C_9=\frac{27!}{9!(27-9)!}[/tex]

[tex]^{27}C_9=\frac{27!}{9!(18)!}[/tex]

[tex]^{27}C_9=4686825[/tex]

Hence 4686825 different simple random samples are​ possible
