Statistics:
The Genetics and IVF Institute conducted a clinical trial of the YSORT method designed to
increase the probability of conceiving a boy. As of this writing, 291 babies were born to
parents using the YSORT method, and 239 of them were boys. Use ? = 0.05 significance
level to test the claim that the YSORT method is effective in increasing the likelihood that a
baby will be a boy. [Use Algebra first then Tech next]

f. Make an interpretation of your decision in the context of the claim. 
g. What is Type 1 error in this problem? Explain its consequence in the context of the
problem. 
h. Use the sample data to construct a 90% confidence interval estimate of the
proportion of boys (?) . What does the confidence interval suggest about the claim
that the YSORT method is effective in increasing the likelihood that a baby will be a
boy (? > 0.5)? [Use Tech]
