22. High School Graduation Rates The overall U.S. public high school graduation rate is 73.4%. For Pennsylvania it is 83.5% and for Idaho 80.5%—a difference of 3%. Random samples of 1200 students from each state indicated that 980 graduated in Pennsylvania and 940 graduated in Idaho. At the 0.05 level of significance, can it be concluded that there is a difference in the proportions of graduating students between the states?
