Applying confidence intervals

In practice, you aren't going to hand-code confidence intervals. Let's utilize the statsmodels package to streamline this process and examine some more tendencies of interval estimates.

In this exercise, we've generated a binomial sample of the number of heads in 50 fair coin flips saved as the heads variable. You'll compute a few different confidence intervals for this sample, and then scale your work for 10 similar samples.

The proportion_confint() function has already been imported to help you compute confidence intervals.
