Dental health issues remain a barrier to attendance, as evidenced by a 2010 Los Angeles School Attendance Review Board (SARB), which lists dental health, along with homelessness, in the top barriers to attendance. The Dental Hygiene program at West Los Angeles College collects data on its clinic patients to help instructors and students better understand their patient population.

9-33. An academic report shows that students scored better in the marketing module offered by the academy in comparison to other modules offered. Based on this information, you suspect there are more students who are in favor of the marketing module. You conduct an online survey for a group of 385 students and 87 of those students chose the marketing module as their favorite. Does this provide convincing statistical evidence of bias in favor of the marketing module if the proportion of students who chose the module is significantly higher than 5/20? Use a 10% significance level for you analysis.
