**Question:**
Has the percentage of registered nurses earning academic degrees changed?
**Analysis:**
**Historical Data (1980):**
- 55% of registered nurses had a high school diploma as their highest level of education.
- 18% had an associate's degree.
- 20% had a bachelor's degree.
- 5% had a master's degree.
**Recent Data (2012):**
- A sample of 800 registered nurses was examined.
- 11 had a high school diploma.
- 289 had an associate's degree.
- 295 had a bachelor's degree.
- 105 had a master's degree.
**Summary:**
**High School Diploma Holders:**
- 1980: 55%
- 2012: 11 out of 800 (1.375%)
**Associate's Degree Holders:**
- 1980: 18%
- 2012: 289 out of 800 (36.125%)
**Bachelor's Degree Holders:**
- 1980: 20%
- 2012: 295 out of 800 (36.875%)
**Master's Degree Holders:**
- 1980: 5%
- 2012: 105 out of 800 (13.125%)
**Conclusion:**
Comparing the data from 1980 and 2012, there is a significant shift in the educational attainment of registered nurses. The percentage of nurses with a high school diploma has drastically decreased, while those with associate's, bachelor's, and master's degrees have significantly increased.
**Significance Level:**
- The analysis is done at a 5% significance level to ensure the results are statistically valid.
Understanding these trends provides invaluable insights into the evolving educational qualifications within the nursing profession over the past few decades.
