2. An experiment was conducted to determine if a drug could be used as a treatment for the eating disorder anorexia. The test subjects were women being treated for anorexia. A group of 50 patients received the drug, and after a year, 39 were deemed healthy. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of patients who would be deemed healthy after receiving the drug for a year.
We have given here,
x=39
n=50
Estimate for sample proportion
Level of significance is =1-0.99=0.01
Z critical value(using Z table)=2.576
