The complete question is as follows:
For the population of women whose mothers took the drug DES during pregnancy, a sample of 3980 women showed 63 developed tissue abnormalities that might lead to cancer. Provide a descriptive statistic that could be used to estimate the number of women out of 1000 in this population who have tissue abnormalities.
Answer:
The correct answer would be 15.8 % or 15.8 women
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The sample of women = 3980
Tissue abnormalities developed mother took DES = 63
Solution :
The proportion of women who took the drug and developed tissue abnormalities
p = [tex]\frac{abnormalties}{total sample}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{63}{3980}[/tex]
=0.015829 or 1.58 %
Now, the number of women out of 1000 in this population who have tissue abnormalities
= [tex]1000*1.58%[/tex]%
= 15.8
Thus, the correct answer is = 1.58 women out of 1000.
