4. The results of testing a new drug on 1,000 people with a certain disease found that 510 of them improved when they used the d

rug. Assume these 1,000 people can be regarded
as a random sample from the population of all people with this disease. Based on these results, would it be reasonable to think that more than half of the people with this disease would
improve if they used the new drug? Why or why not?

Answer:

It would not be reasonable to say that  more than half of the people with this disease would  improve if they used the new drug

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Sample size,  n = 1000

Number of people improved when they used the drug = 510

Thus,

Probability that Number of people improved when they used the drug

= 510 ÷ 1000

= 0.510

Now,

margin of error, E = 2\times\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

= 2\times\sqrt{\frac{0.510(1-0.510)}{1000}}

= 0.032 = 3.2%

Therefore,

Portion of 0.510 is likely to lie in the 3.2% of the actual value of population

And,

The lower portion can be as small as p - E

= 0.510 - 0.032

= 0.478 i.e 47.8% of the sample

Hence,

It would not be reasonable to say that  more than half of the people with this disease would  improve if they used the new drug

Which of the following probabilities can be determined using a uniform probability model?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

The uniform probability model is a model where every possible outcome has equal probability, hence the name 'uniform' which means the same.

All these options have outcomes with very uneven probabilities, except d.

You are most likely going to school tomorrow.

A car crash is probably not going to happen at a given time.

You definitely won't sneeze 10 times tomorrow.

But the probability of picking up a red shirt is the same as any other piece of clothing in the pile, if you're not looking.
