(a) Given : n=42 , X=26
The sample proportion , p=X/n=26/42=0.6190
q=1-p=0.3810
Therefore , the 90% confidence interval for the probability that a specimen will contains a detectable level of lead is ,
(b) Given : n=42 , X=41
The sample proportion , p=X/n=41/42=0.9762
q=1-p=0.0238
Therefore , the 95% confidence interval for the probability that a specimen will contains a detectable level of arsenic is ,
(c) Given : n=42 , X=32
The sample proportion , p=X/n=32/42=0.7619
q=1-p=0.2381
Therefore , the 99% confidence interval for the probability that a specimen will contains a detectable level of chromium is ,
