An article in Fortune (September 21, 1992) claimed that around one-half of all engineers continue academic studies beyond the B.S. degree, ultimately receiving either an M.S. or a Ph.D. degree. Data from an article in Engineering Horizons (Spring 1990) indicated that 117 of 484 new engineering graduates were planning graduate study. Are the data from Engineering Horizons consistent with the claim reported by Fortune? Use α = 0.05 in reaching your conclusions.

Final answer:

No, the data from Engineering Horizons is not consistent with the claim reported by Fortune.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, the data from Engineering Horizons is not consistent with the claim reported by Fortune. The claim stated that around one-half of all engineers continue academic studies beyond the B.S. degree, ultimately receiving either an M.S. or a Ph.D. degree. However, the data from Engineering Horizons indicated that only 117 out of 484 new engineering graduates were planning graduate study. This is significantly less than one-half, which suggests that the claim reported by Fortune may not be accurate.
