Control of the disease caused by Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis (EEE) virus needs a good understanding of which vectors are most important in transmitting the EEE virus to different hosts. There are six species of mosquitoes in Alabama carrying this virus. A DNA analysis of sample of blood-engorged female mosquitoes of the species Ae. vexans shows that 57 of the n=150 mosquitoes have fed on mammals.

Use the R function binom.test() to find the following 91% confidence intervals for the proportion of blood meals taken from mammals by the species Ae. vexans.

(a) The 91% two-sided confidence interval ranges from___to___?
