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?

Answer

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) [ \begin{align*} N&=\frac{5200000}{1000}\ N& = 5200 \end{align*} ]

Answer:

(5200)
