3 Consider the question: Are middle school students less likely to do well on standardized test if their parents are less educated? To answer this question, a dataset was collected for the two variables "mother's highest education level" and "student standardized test score". What percentages (row or column percents) would you compare to answer the question? Compute the percentages and write your answer in complete sentences. Make sure to include the percentages to support your answer.
