It has been found that 85.6% of all enrolled college and university students in the United States are undergraduates. A random sample of 500 enrolled college students in a particular state revealed that 420 of them were undergraduates. Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion differs from the national percentage? Use a = 0.05.
