The table shows a random sample of six subjects (A–F) drawn from a parasite-host population with a mean pre-drug administration fecal egg count (FEC) of 250 eggs per gram of stool (EPG) and a k-value of 1, for a sample size of six in which a drug with a ‘true’ drug efficacy of 50% was evaluated by the fecal egg count reduction test using a detection technique with a detection limit of 24 EPG.
