Ptc is a substance that has a strong bitter taste for some people and is tasteless for others. the ability to taste ptc is inherited and depends on a single gene that codes for a taste receptor on the tongue. interestingly, though the ptc molecule is not found in nature, the ability to taste it correlates strongly with the ability to taste other naturally occurring bitter substances, many of which are toxins. about 75 % of italians can taste ptc. you want to estimate the proportion of americans with at least one italian grandparent who can taste ptc. (a) starting with the 75 % estimate for italians, how large a sample must you collect in order to estimate the proportion of ptc tasters within ± 0.11 with 95 % confidence

Sample size shouldbe atleast 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that PTC is a substance that has a strong bitter taste for some people and is tasteless for others. The ability to taste PTC is inherited and depends on a single gene that codes for a taste receptor on the tongue. Interestingly, though the PTC molecule is not found in nature, the ability to taste it correlates strongly with the ability to taste other naturally occurring bitter substances, many of which are toxins.

Proportion of Italians who taste PTC =0.75

Margin of error <0.11

Confidence level = 95%

Std error of proportion =

Margin of error = <0.11

Sample size shouldbe atleast 60

15% chance.

step-by-step explanation:

3/10 times, the 5 year old will get a tablet. 5/10 times, the 13 yer old will get a tablet. multiply both fractions to get 15/100 times, both would have a tablet.

well we know there are 4 clubs in 52 cards so it’s replaced so it should be 3/51
