An uncomfortable yes/no question is posed to the respondents, so that one of the two answers is “embarrassing” or “sensitive”. for example, suppose we ask the “have you ever shoplifted? ” question. to provide anonymity, the following scheme is proposed. each respondent secretly flips an unfair coin (with probability 0 < p < 1/2 of landing heads). if the coin shows heads the respondent must tell the truth, and if the coin shows tails the respondent must tell the opposite of the truth. suppose we want to estimate the portion of people who shoplifted at some point in their life with accuracy of 0.5% and confidence level of 99%. use the chebyshev inequality to find how many people should be questioned to fulfill our requirement.

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
