At a local pool, a new swimming instructor (Teacher 1) is being evaluated by how many of his students pass a standard swimming test. Of his 30 students, 17 passed the test. However, the more experienced instructor (Teacher 2), who taught 85 students, had 62 pass the test. Is this enough evidence to show that the pass rate for Teacher 1's students is lower than that of Teacher 2's students? (Use a = .10)
