Confidence Intervals · Superchallenge problem

A new treatment is tried on 20 patients and none has a side effect. The ordinary interval p^±z∗p^(1−p^)/n\hat p \pm z^*\sqrt{\hat p(1-\hat p)/n} collapses to the single point 0. Instead, collect every pp with ∣p^−p∣≤z∗p(1−p)/n|\hat p - p| \le z^*\sqrt{p(1-p)/n}, using z∗=2z^* = 2. What is the UPPER end of this interval? Give a fraction.
