a. Test the hypothesis that the percentage of graduates with student loans from this college is different from the national percentage. Use a significance level of 0.05.

b. After conducting the hypothesis test, a further question one might ask is what proportion of graduates from this college have student loans? Use the sample data to find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of graduates from the college who have student loans.
