Essay

other than English is spoken. Advocates for providing government programs to assist non-English speakers are convinced
that, with the increasing non-white population in the United States, this proportion has probably increased. They plan to
conduct a survey, and if they find the proportion of people who live in such homes has increased, they will organize a
campaign to increase government investment in these assistance programs.
-Describe to the group an advantage and a disadvantage of using an alpha level of 5%
