after ♮many timesε implies that p=((10)/(25))=(2/5)±0 ⇒ there are ((25)/p)=62.5≈60 candies in the jar

sir why (2/5) ± 0 ?

how sir get 62.5 ?

((25)/(((2/5)))) = ((125)/2) = 62.5 ≈ 60

if we do not know the probability and we make one test as described here, we get a normally distributed p. we then have to define a confidence interval. usually you want to be at least 95% sure that the probability lies within [p−ε; p+ε] you′ll have to study this. but after ♮many testsε means we are 100% sure the probability is (2/5). then it′s easy: we marked 25 if we take out 25 we get 10 marked we must take out 2.5×25 to get 2.5×10 marked 2.5×25=62.5
