Suppose X = 20, n = 50

a. Calculate the estimate for p, the true probability of success

b. Calculate and interpret a 90% Confidence interval for the true probability of success.

c. You would like to know if p is actually greater than 1/3, so you test the following null hypothesis:

H0: p ≤ 1/3 What is the alternative hypothesis? Conduct and interpret this test at the 0.05 significance level.
