Will there be a time when hiring decisions will be done using a computer algorithm, and without any human involvement? A survey found that 60% of the adults surveyed were worried about the development of algorithms that can evaluate and hire job candidates. To check this claim, a random sample of n = 100 U.S. adults was selected, with 55 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." (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

A researcher used a new drug to treat 183 subjects with high sodium. For the patients in the study, after six (6) months of treatment the average decrease in sodum level was 5.879 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L). Assume that the decrease in sodium in a human after six months of taking the drug follows a Normal distribution with an unknown mean and a standard deviation of 2.615 mEq/L.
Find the margin of error for a 70% confidence interval for the mean decrease in sodium of the subjects. Round your answer to three (3) decimal places.
