Question: Two different types of polishing solution are being evaluated for possible use in a tumble-polish operation for manufacturing interocular lenses used in the human eye

Two different types of polishing solution are being evaluated for possible use in a tumble-polish operation for manufacturing interocular lenses used in the human eye following cataract surgery. Three hundred lenses were tumble polished using the first polishing solution, and of this number 253 had no polishing-induced defects.

Use a = 0.01. Discuss how this question could be answered with a confidence interval on p1 = p2.
