In a recent​ survey, 34​% of employed U.S. adults reported that basic mathematical skills were critical or very important to their job. The supervisor of the job placement office at a​ 4-year college thinks this percentage has increased due to increased use of technology in the workplace. She takes a random sample of 250 employed adults and finds that 90 of them feel that basic mathematical skills are critical or very important to their job. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the percentage of employed adults who feel basic mathematical skills are critical or very important to their job has increased at the alpha equals 0.01 level of​ significance?
