10. The institutional researcher at a community college reads that the persistence rate (percent of students who return to college for the next academic year) is higher for full-time students as compared to part-time students. He decides to test this out at his college. He tracks a randomly selected randomly selected sample of 350 full- time students and 480 part-time students. Of the 350 full-time students, 316 return to college the next year. Of the 480 part-time students, 319 return...
