The Pew Research Center asked 2143 U.S. adults and 1055 college presidents to “rate the job the higher education system is doing in providing value for the money spent by students and their families” as Excellent, Good, Only Fair, or Poor.

a) What percent of college presidents think that higher education provides a “poor” value?
b) What percent of U.S. adults thinks the value provided is either good or excellent? What is the comparable percentage of college presidents?
c) Compare the distribution of opinions between U.S. adults and college presidents.
d) Is it reasonable to conclude that 5.00% of all U.S. adults think that the higher education system provides an excellent value? Why or why not?
