QUESTION:

Some dentists were interested in studying the fusion of embryonic rat palates by a standard transplantation technique. When no treatment is used, the probability of fusion equals approximately 0.89. The dentists would like to estimate p, the probability of fusion, when vitamin A is lacking. (a) How large a sample n of rat embryos is needed for y/n 0.10 to be a 95% confidence interval for p?(b) If y = 44 out of n = 60 palates showed fusion, give a 95% confidence interval for p.
