Question:
In a sample of 100 heart patients, each patient has 80% chance of having a heart attack without medicine X. It is clinically known that medicine X reduces the probability of having a heart attack by 50%. Medicine X is taken by 50 of these 100 patients. The probability that a randomly selected patient, out of the 100 patients, takes medicine X and has a heart attack is

- A market survey with a sample size of 1000 was conducted for a parameter that follows normal distribution. The confidence interval was estimated as [500, 700] with a mean of 600. It is now desired to reduce the confidence interval to [550, 650]. The sample size for achieving the desired interval at the same confidence level is
