In 1935, 25.3% of college students enrolled in an education major were male. A sample of students enrolled in an education major in 1995 consisted of 115 females and 65 males.

Would this data be sufficient at the 0.05 level of significance to conclude that the percentage of males enrolled in an education major increased from the 25.3%?

Use the P-Value Method of Testing.

In your work space below, you will need to have -
1. The null hypothesis, Ho (5 points)
2. The alternative hypothesis, H1 (5 points)
3. The test statistic (10 points)
4. The type of test(left, right, two-tailed) and the p-value (8 points)
5. The decision to accept Ho or reject Ho (5 points)
