10.27 The state of California is working very hard to ensure that all elementary age students whose
native language is not English become proficient in English by the sixth grade. Their progress
is monitored each year using the California English Language Development test. The results
for two school districts in southern California for the 2003 school year are given in the accom-
panying table. Do the data indicate a significant difference in the 2003 proportions of students
who are fluent in English for the two districts? Use α = .01.

age students in Riverside who are fluent in English is greater than the proportion of
elementary age students in Palm Springs who are fluent in English by at least 0.7% to as
much as 5.3%
