The approximately empirical probability that the patient will be helped is 0.80.

Given that in a medical experiment, a new drug is found to help 2,400 out of 3,000 people, if a doctor prescribes the drug for a particular patient, to determine what is the approximately empirical probability that the patient will be helped the following calculation should be performed:

  • 3000 = 100
  • 2400 = X
  • 2400 x 100/3000 = X
  • 240000/3000 = X
  • 80 = X

Therefore, the approximately empirical probability that the patient will be helped is 0.80.
