Extraterrestrials: Believe It Based on information from Harper's Index , r 1 = 37 out of a random sample of n 1 = 100 adult Americans who did not attend college believe in extraterrestrials. However, out of a random sample of n 2 = 100 adult Americans who did attend college, r 2 = 47 claim that they believe in extraterrestrials. Does this indicate that the proportion of people who attended college and who believe in extraterrestrial is higher than the proportion who did not attend college Use = 0.01.
