An organization monitors many aspects of elementary and secondary education in a very large country. Their 2000 numbers are often used as a baseline to assess changes. In 2000, 36% of students had not been absent from school even once during the previous month. In the 2005 survey, responses from 7423 randomly selected students showed that this figure had slipped to 34%. Officials would, of course, be concerned if student attendance were declining. Do these figures give evidence of a change in student attendance? Consider an event to be rare if its probability of occurring less than 0.10. Complete parts a-e below. a) Write the appropriate hypotheses. Let p be the population proportion of students who have not been absent from school even once during the past month. Ho: P HA: P (Type integers or decimals. Do not round.) b) Check the assumptions and conditions.
