For Problems 1 and 2, a sample of 50 patients undergoing a new type of chemotherapy is collected and analyzed, using properly randomized sampling techniques and properly blinded observation techniques. Identify the following for each scenario presented: i. The sample statistic is used to estimate the desired population parameter. ii. The confidence level of the range estimate being used. iii. The confidence interval for the desired population parameter based on the 1. The average percent reduction in the size of the tumor was 48.5%, which is accurate to within a margin of 7.3%, 99 times out of 100. 2. The proportion of patients who were recommended surgery to remove the tumor after undergoing treatment was 0.64, which is accurate to within a margin of 0.045, 99 times out of 100.
