Question:

The infant mortality rate (IMR) is the number of infant deaths per 1000 live births. Suppose that you have been commissioned to estimate the IMR in Singapore. From a random sample of 1109 live births in Singapore, you find that 0.361% of them resulted in infant deaths. You next find a 90% confidence interval: 0.00361 ± 1.645·√(0.00361) (0.99639) / 1109, or 0.000647 to 0.00657. You then conclude, “I can be 90% confident that the IMR in Singapore is somewhere between 0.647 and 6.57.” How did you do?
