6.18 heart transplant success. the stanford university heart transplant study was conducted to determine whether an experimental heart transplant program increased lifespan. each patient entering the program was officially designated a heart transplant candidate, meaning that he was gravely ill and might benefit from a new heart. patients were randomly assigned into treatment and control groups. patients in the treatment group received a transplant, and those in the control group did not. the table below displays how many patients survived and died in each group.22 control treatment alive 4 24 dead 30 45 suppose we are interested in estimating the difference in survival rate between the control and treatment groups using a confidence interval. explain why we cannot construct such an interval using the normal approximation. what might go wrong if we constructed the confidence interval despite this problem?
