Q. During randomized human trials for the chemical compound G−23-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate, 0.1%0.1\% of trial participants exhibited unpleasant side effects. At this rate, if a population of 5,200,0005,200,000 is exposed to the compound, how many people would be expected to exhibit similar side effects?\newline◻
  1. Convert to decimal: Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100100.0.1%÷100=0.0010.1\% \div 100 = 0.001
  2. Multiply population: Multiply the population by the decimal to find the expected number of people with side effects. 5,200,000×0.001=5,2005,200,000 \times 0.001 = 5,200
