During a period of 11 years 1689 of the people selected for grand jury duty were sampled, and 27% of them were immigrants. Use the sample data to construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of grand jury members who were immigrants. Given that among the people eligible for jury duty, 33.3% of them were immigrants, does it appear that the jury selection process was somehow biased against immigrants?
