Refer to Data Set 14 in Appendix B, and consider days with precipitation values different from 0 to be days with precipitation. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of Wednesdays with precipitation, and also construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of Sundays with precipitation. Compare the results. Does precipitation appear to occur more on either day?
