Institute of education sciences


The Institute of Education Sciences measures the high school dropout rate as the percentage of 16- through 24-year-olds who are not enrolled in school and have not earned a high school credential. In 2009, the high school dropout rate was 8.1%. A polling company recently took a survey of 1000 people between the ages of 16 and 24 and found 6.5% of them are high school dropouts. The polling company would like to determine whether the proportion of dropouts has changed from the historical value of 0.081. Use the 5% significance level. Set up the null and alternative hypotheses, calculate the Test Statistic, p-value, and write your conclusion in a sentence.
