37. Hired by a Robot? Will there be a time when hiring decisions will be done using a computer algorithm, and without any human involvement? A Pew Research survey found that 67% of the adults surveyed were worried about the development of algorithms that can evaluate and hire job candidates.12 To check this claim, a random sample of n5100 U.S. adults was selected, with 58 saying they were worried about this issue.

a. Construct a 98% confidence interval for the true proportion of adults that are worried about being “hired by a robot.”

b. Does the confidence interval constructed in part a confirm the claim of the Pew Research survey? Why or why not?
