Suppose that there are 4 deaths due to stomach can- cer among workers in a tire plant from 1/1/64 to 12/31/83, while 2.5 are expected based on U.S. mortality rates. Provide a 95% CI for the expected number of deaths from stomach cancer over 20 years among the tire workers. Is the number of cases of stomach cancer excessive?
