Chapter 5, Problem 25P
Develop a user-friendly subprogram for the modified false-position method based on Fig. 5.15. Test the program by determining the root of the function described in Example 5.6. Perform a number of runs until the true percent recent relative error falls below 0.01%. Plot the true and approximate percent relative errors versus number of iterations on semilog paper. Interpret your results.

Suppose they sample 107 pregnant mothers in their third trimester and determine that 12 mothers have smoked at least once during their pregnancy.
