Question: Preventable chronic diseases are increasing rapidly in Native American populations, particularly diabetes. Gilliland et al. examined the diabetes issue in the paper, "Preventative Health Care among Rural American Indians in New Mexico". Following is a contingency table showing cross-classification of educational attainment and diabetic state for a sample of 1273 Native Americans.
| Diabetes | No Diabetes | Total | |
| Less than HS | 33 | 218 | 251 |
| HS Grad | 25 | 389 | 414 |
| Some College | 20 | 393 | 413 |
| College grad | 17 | 178 | 195 |
| Total | 95 | 1178 | 1273 |
At the 1% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that an association exists between educational level and diabetic state for Native Americans?
