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, although 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 +0.09 with 90% confidence? (Enter your answer as a whole number.)
n =
(b) Estimate the sample size required if you made no assumptions about the value of the proportion who could taste PTC.
(Enter your answer as a whole number.)
n =

Asap for seven months an ice creams vendor collects data showing the number of cones sold a day (c) and the degrees above 70 degrees f the vendor finds that there is a positive linear association between c and t that is the best modeled by this equation c=3.7t+98 which statement is true? the model predicts that the average number of cones sold in a day is 3.7 the model predicts that the average number of cones sold i a day is 98 a model predicts that for each additional degree that the high temperature is above 70 degres f the total of number of cones sold increases by 3.7 the model predicts for each additional degree that the high temperature is above 70 degrees f the total number of cones sold increasingly by 98
