Question
A researcher wants to estimate the proportion of depressed individuals taking a new anti-depressant drug who find relief. A random sample of
individuals who had been taking the drug is questioned;
of them found relief from depression. Based upon this, compute a
confidence interval for the proportion of all depressed individuals taking the drug who find relief. Then find the lower limit and upper limit of the
confidence interval.
