An article in Fortune (September 21, 1992) claimed that nearly one-half of all engineering continue academic studies beyond the B.S. degree, ultimately receiving either an M.S. or a Ph.D. degree. Data from an article in Engineering Horizons (Spring 1990) indicated that 117 of 484 new engineering graduates were planning graduate study. Are the data from Engineering Horizons consistent with the claim reported by Fortune? Use alpha=0.05 in reaching your conclusions. Find P-value for this test. Discuss how you could answer the question in part-a by constructing a two-sided confidence interval on p.

2-Proportion Test

In a 2-proportion test, two separate proportions are measured at the same time, and their similarity is evaluated. It is also known as a 2-proportion z-test, and a comparison of two different proportions is done in this method.
