40 over 100 and 55 over n cross multiply 55 x 100 and divide by 40.which gives you 137.5
Answer:
a. Yes. This provides convincing evidence that the true proportion of all attendees who ate the fish that got sick (80%) is more than the true proportion of all attendees who did not eat the fish that got sick.
b. The mistake here would have been the rejection of the Doctor's theory or hypothesis to the effect that more attendees who ate the fish got sick than those who did not eat the fish. This is a Type 1 error. A Type 1 error occurs when a null hypothesis is rejected when it is true. On the other hand, a Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is accepted when it should be rejected. While a Type I error is equivalent to a false positive, a Type II error is equivalent to a false negative.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of attendees who ordered fish = 1,000
Sample size of the attendees who ate fish = 80
Number of attendees who ate the fish and got sick = 64 (80% or 64/80)
Sample size of attendees who did not eat fish = 60
Number of attendees who did not eat fish and got sick = 39 (65% or 39/60)
