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

You find a deck of cards and know that the deck has too many clubs and spades in it. The deck has 59 cards.
Harrizon [31]
(13/59)(c/58)=117/1711

13c/3422=117/1711

13c=234

c=18

So there are 18 clubs instead of 13 meaning that there is an extra 5 clubs in the deck.

Since there were 59 cards, there was 7 extra cards in all.  The 7 extra minus the 5 extra clubs leaves 2 extra spaces.

So there were two extra spades in the deck.

The classrooms in the Oakhurst School District are painted every summer. Seven gallons of paint are needed to paint 3 classrooms
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

189 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

7 gallons for 3 classrooms, so 7/3 for 1 classroom

multiply 7/3 * 129 to get 301 gallons at North High School

multiply 7/3 * 48 to get 112 gallons at Edgewater Elementary

301 - 112 = 189 gallons more at North High School than at Edgewater Elementary
