A group of 5, 000 undergraduate students was randomly selected from three universities in a large state and asked the question, Do you plan to attain your master' s degree eventually   More than 82 percent answered Yes
This shows that the overwhelming majority of students want to attain their master' s degree, and that if the national number of students earning a master' s degree is low, it cannot be due to a lack of desire on the part of the students
fails to justify its presumption that 82 percent is an overwhelming majority
