Public Agenda conducted a survey of 1379 parents and 1342 students in grades 6– 12 regarding the importance of science and mathematics in the school curriculum (Associated Press, February 15, 2006). It was reported that 50% of students thought that understanding science and having strong math skills are essential for them to succeed in life after school, whereas 62% of the parents thought it was crucial for today’s students to learn science and higher-level math. The two samples—parents and students—were selected independently of one another. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of parents who regard science and mathematics as crucial is different than the corresponding proportion for students in grades 6– 12? Test the relevant hypotheses using a significance level of .05.
