A university wants to increase its retention rate of 4% for graduating students from the previous year. After implementing several new programs during the last two years, the university reevaluated its retention rate using a random sample of 352 students and found the retention rate at 5%. Test an appropriate hypothesis and state your conclusion. Be sure the appropriate assumptions and conditions are satisfied before you proceed.

University officials hope that changes they have made have improved the retention rate. Last year, a sample of 1969 freshmen showed that 1506 returned as sophomores. This year, 1579 of 2003 freshmen sampled returned as sophomores. Determine if there is sufficient evidence at the 0.02 level to say that the retention rate has improved. Let last year's freshmen be Population 1 and let this year's freshmen be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places. Step 3 of 3: Draw a Conclusion

University officials hope that changes they have made have improved the retention rate. Last year, a sample of 19681968 freshmen showed that 16491649 returned as sophomores. This year, 16741674 of 19381938 freshmen sampled returned as sophomores. Determine if there is sufficient evidence at the 0.050.05 level to say that the retention rate has improved. Let last year's freshmen be Population 1 and let this year's freshmen be Population 2. Step 2 of 3 : Compute the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places
