3You also have been asked to determine at both the 5% and 10% levels of significance whether the proportion of the population of universities that offers more than 50% of their student body some sort of financial aid is different from 40%. You select a random sample of universities from the population. The sample data concerning whether the university offers more than 50% of its students some form of financial aid is shown below. Answer the question posed above at each of the stated levels of significance based upon the sample data given in appendix two. If you arrive at different results for the two different parts of this problem, provide a reason for that difference. Appendix Two: University offers more than 50% of its students financial aid?
