Question

any help is appreciated. 

2. (Textbook problem 9, page 21) Forsman and Lindell (1993) studied swallowing performance of
adders (snakes). Captive snakes were fed with dead field voles (rodents) of differing body masses
and the number of successful swallowing attempts was recorded. Out of 67 runs resulting in
swallowing attempts, 58 were successful and 9 failed. (A failure was easy to detect because the
fur of a partly swallowed and regurgitated vole is slick and sticks to the anterior part of the
body.)
(a) Test the hypothesis that p = 0.6 against the alternative p > 0.6 using the large-sample
approximation, at the a = = 0.05 level of significance. Give your decision rule, test statistic
value, and conclusion.
(b) Find an approximate p-value.
(c) Find an approximate 95% (Wald) confidence interval for p, and interpret your interval in
the context of the problem.
