To determine

To calculate:

Number of people are expected to experience a side effect.

Answer to Problem 8CCSR

Number of people are expected to experience a side effect is $2700$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

F. $300$

G. $900$

H. $2700$

I. $21000$

Calculation:

Let $n$ be the number of people who will use the drug and $s$ be the number of people that are expected to experience side effects.

  $s=\frac{3}{70}n$

Now, substitute $n=63000$ and solve for $x$ ,

  $\begin{array}{l}s=\frac{3}{70}n\\ s=\frac{3}{70}\left(63000\right)\\ s=\frac{189000}{70}\\ s=2700\end{array}$

Thus, Number of people are expected to experience a side effect is $2700$ , so option (H) is correct.
