High School Dropouts: Male versus Female Is the high school dropout rate higher for males or females? A random sample of population regions gave the following information about percentage of 15 - to 19 -year-olds who are high school dropouts (Reference: Statistical Abstract of the United States, 121 st edition). $$ \begin{aligned} &\begin{array}{l|cccccccccc} \hline \text { Region } & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\ \hline \text { Male } & 7.3 & 7.5 & 7.7 & 21.8 & 4.2 & 12.2 & 3.5 & 4.2 & 8.0 & 9.7 \\ \hline \text { Female } & 7.5 & 6.4 & 6.0 & 20.0 & 2.6 & 5.2 & 3.1 & 4.9 & 12.1 & 10.8 \\ \hline \end{array}\\ &\begin{array}{l|cccccccccc} \hline \text { Region } & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 & 19 & 20 \\ \hline \text { Male } & 14.1 & 3.6 & 3.6 & 4.0 & 5.2 & 6.9 & 15.6 & 6.3 & 8.0 & 6.5 \\ \hline \text { Female } & 15.6 & 6.3 & 4.0 & 3.9 & 9.8 & 9.8 & 12.0 & 3.3 & 7.1 & 8.2 \\ \hline \end{array} \end{aligned} $$ Does this information indicate that the dropout rates for males and females are different (either way)? Use $\alpha=0.01$.
Nonparametric Statistics
The Sign Test for Matched Pairs
In a survey of 100 U.S. residents with a high school diploma as their highest educational degree (Group 1) had an average yearly income was $35,621. Another 120 U.S. residents with a GED (Group 2) had an average yearly income of $33,498. The population standard deviation for both populations is known to be $4,310. At a 0.01 level of significance, can it be concluded that U.S. residents with a high school diploma make significantly more than those with a GED? Enter the test statistic - round to 4 decimal places. Enter the P-Value - round to 4 decimal places. Can you conclude that U.S. residents with a high school diploma make significantly more than those with a GED?
