Q2. The national graduate rate for state police academies is 90%. In the latest graduating class of Big State Police Academy, 240 of 300 cadets graduated. Teh state governor has begun an inquiry into the low rate of graduation. But, first, he has asked you to determine if the difference in rates is significant or due to chance.
