The Socrates II European program supports cooperation in education in eight areas, from school to higher education, from new technologies, to adult learners. Within Socrates II is the program Erasmus that was established in 1987 with the objective to facilitate the mobility of higher education students within European universities. The program is named after the philosopher, theologian, and humanist, Erasmus of Rotterdam (1465 1536). Erasmus lived and worked in several parts of Europe in quest of knowledge and experience believing such contacts with different cultures could only furnish a broad knowledge. He left his fortune to the University of Basel and became a precursor of mobility grants. The Erasmus program has 31 participating countries that include the 25 member states of the European Union, the three European Economic area countries of Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, and the current three candidate countries - Romania, Bulgaria, and Turkey. The program is open to universities for all higher education programs including doctoral courses. In between the academic years 1987 1988 to 2003 2004 more than 1 million university students had spent an Erasmus period abroad and there are 2,199 higher education institutions participating in the program. The European Union budget for 2000 2006 is 950 million of which about 750 million is for student grants. In the academic year 2003 2004, the Erasmus students according to their country of origin and their country of study, or host country is given in the cross-classification Table 1 and the field of study for these students according to their home country is given in Table 2. It is the target of the Erasmus program to have a balance in the gender mix and the program administrators felt that the profile for subsequent academic years would be similar to the profile for the academic vear 2003 2004. Required A sample of random data for the Erasmus program for the academic year 2005 2006 was provided by the registrar's office and this is given in Table 3. Does this information bear out the program administrator's belief if this is tested at the 1%, 5%, and 10% significance level for a difference?
