The manufacturer of a drug claims that at least 94% of patients treated with the drug are healed within 8 weeks. In clinical trials, 222 of 230 randomly selected patients were healed within 8 weeks. Construct and interpret a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of patients who are healed within 8 weeks. You may assume that all conditions are satisfied.
