1. In trials of a medical screening test for a particular illness, 29 cases out of 338 positive results turned out to be false-positive results. The screening test is acceptable as long as p, the probability of a positive result being incorrect, is no larger than 10%. Calculate a p-value for the hypotheses H0 : p ≥ 0.1, versus HA : p < 0.1 Construct a 99% upper confidence bound on p. Do you think that the screening test is acceptable?
