A clinical trial tests a method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a girl. In the study 578 babies were born, and 289 of them were girls. Use the sample data to construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of girls born. Based on the result, does the method appear to be effective? p< (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
