A national center for educational statistics reported that the high school dropout rate for the year 2000 was 10.8%. One schooldistrict, who adopted the use of thenonprofit's tutoring program and whose dropout rate has always been very close to the nationalaverage, reported in 2004 that 184 of their 1755 students dropped out. Is their experience evidence that the tutoring program has beeneffective?
