Chapter 7, Problem 7.12P

S O C / C J A random sample of 113 felons convicted of nonviolent crimes in a state prison system completed a program designed to improve their employment possibilities before being released on parole. Fifty-eight eventually became repeat offenders. Is this recidivism rate significantly different from the rate for all offenders in that state (57%)? Summarize your conclusions in a sentence or two. (HINT. You must use the information given in the problem to compute a sample proportion. Remember to convert the population percentage to a proportion.)
