Independent company would be unaffiliated with the drug company

Legal, recreational



Boys drink more beer, lager, cider than girls, girls drink more of everything else

It's too small a sample size

In the first category, more boys than girls, others, more girls than boys.
And which hypothesis?

It was 0.6% recurring.

I remember the question.

It was 3*10^8 people get malaria and 2*10^6 died from it.

To work out a percentage you take the lower number and divide it by the higher number and then * by 100.

There you get

(2/3 * 10^6/10^8) * 100

2/3 * 10^6/10^8 is 2/3 * 10^-2.

This is 0.006 recurring.

However then you times by 100 since it is a percentage.

This leaves you with 0.6% recurring of people dying.
