Question 918668: As a part of its marketing strategy at a tertiary institution, the brochure
states that 62% of the students get a job immediately out of college.
Given the current labour market, you believe that this claim is dubious
and the rate should be lower. Of the 100 persons surveyed, 55 got a
job immediately. Is the claim supported at the 5% significance level?
