Question:
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is
concerned about the graduation rate for student-athletes
involved in
"revenue-producing"
sports, especially foot-
ball and basketball, compared to the graduation rate for
student-athletes involved in
"non-revenue"
sports like
swimming, lacrosse, etc. From a list of freshmen athletes
who entered college 5 years ago, a random sample of 500
football and basketball players, and a sample of 500 par-
ticipants in other collegiate sports is selected. It turns out
that the sample of football and basketball players showed
a graduation rate of 38%; while the sample of other stu
dent athletes showed a graduation rate of 44%.
Based on these sample results, produce a 90% confi-
dence interval estimate of the difference in graduation
rates for the two populations represented here.
