At a recent meeting at the American College of Asthma, Allergy, and Immunology, researchers reported that allergy vaccinations a

re effective in treating sinusitis (inflammation of the membrane lining the facial sinuses) in individuals predisposed to allergies. Specifically, the researchers reported that 98% of individuals predisposed to allergies find relief from their sinusitis after allergy vaccinations. Suppose that this number is accurate and that 150 individuals predisposed to allergies are chosen at random and given allergy vaccinations.
A. Estimate the number of individuals in the random sample who do not find relief from their sinusitis by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable).
B. Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution.

Solution :

Here we can use the Binomial distribution, as there are only two possible outcomes.

The given data:

n = 150

q = 98%

  = 0.98

p = probability of not finding relief = 1 - 0.98

                                                         = 0.02

A). The number of the individuals who do not find any relief from sinusitis is  :

E(x) = np

      = 150 x 0.02

      = 3

B). The uncertainty of my estimate is = $\sqrt{npq}$

                                                              $=\sqrt{150 \times 0.02 \times 0.98}$

                                                              = 1.716

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of defective laptops = 6/145 * 100 as a percent.

The number of defective laptops = 4.13% in a sample of 145

A: False. The percentage should be the same for 290 laptops. The % does not change. The number of defective laptops will change (12)

B: True. It is a reason assertion that about 4% of all laptops will be defective.

C: True. It is not reasonable to assume that only 0.5 laptops will be defective. .5% is too small.

D: True. 10% is too high.

E: False. The variation should not be much.
