Question 1
We are interested in estimating the proportion of graduates at a mid-sized university who
found a job within one year of completing their undergraduate degree. Suppose we conduct
a survey on current graduate students, and find out that 113 of 225 randomly sampled
graduate students found jobs. The graduate class under consideration included over
18420 students. Answer the following questions, and where applicable and unless otherwise
stated, round and give your answers to two decimal places.
