In the 1990's about 75% of high school graduates attended college. A survey of 2,000 high school graduates was taken in 2018 tha
t showed 1,453 attended college. Do these responses provide strong evidence that the 75% figure is not accurate for current graduates? State the hypothesis and your conclusion using statistical evidence. What does your conclusion mean in context?
These responses do show strong evidence that the 75% figure is accurate for current high school graduates going off to attend college
Step-by-step explanation:
1453/2000 = .7265 or 72.65%
If 1,453 students of a 2,000 student high school attend college after high school, than 72.65% of the students in the high school on average will attend college after they graduate. This percentage compared to the 1990's are a mere 2.35% behind the 75% mark. In this example that is the difference between 1,453 students and 1,500 students. Since these percentages are relatively similar, a conclusion could be made that the 75% mark is an accurate average representation of how many high school graduates will attend college in the future.
