A study was made to determine whether there is a difference between the proportions of parents in the states of Maryland (MD), Virginia (VA), Georgia (GA), and Alabama (AL) who favor placing Bibles in the elementary schools. The responses of 100 parents selected at random in each of these states are recorded in the following table. Can wc conclude that the proportions of parents who favor placing Bibles in the schools are the same for these four states? Use a 0.01 level ofsignificance.
