Question

during randomized human trials for the chemical compound g - 23 paxilon hydrochlorate, 0.1% of trial participants exhibited unpleasant side effects. at this rate, if a population of 5,200,000 is exposed to the compound, how many people would be expected to exhibit similar side effects?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find \(0.1\%\) of a number, first convert \(0.1\%\) to a decimal. \(0.1\%=\frac{0.1}{100}=0.001\)

Step2: Calculate the number of people with side - effects

Multiply the total population by the decimal form of the percentage. Let \(N\) be the number of people with side - effects. \(N = 5200000\times0.001\)
