An article included data from a survey of 2,595 hiring managers and human resource professionals. The article noted that more employers are now using social networks to screen job applicants. Of the 2,595 people who participated in the survey, 1,200 indicated that they use social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn to research job applicants. Assume that the sample is representative of hiring managers and human resource professionals.
Use the five-step process for estimation problems (EMC3) to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of hiring managers and human resource professionals who use social networking sites to research job applicants.
