A Bipartisan Agenda for Change A survey of 100 individuals who
live in the western region of New York State was conducted in order
to obtain their views of how well the state government is
functioning. The party affiliation (Democrat, Independent,
Republican) of each individual surveyed was recorded, as well as
their responses to the following three questions.
1.Should legislative pay be cut for every day the state budget
is late?
Yes
____ No
____
2. Should there be more restrictions on lobbyists?
Yes
____ No
____
3. Should there be term limits requiring that legislators serve
a fixed number of years?
Yes
____ No
____
The responses were coded using 1 for a Yes response and 2
for a No response. The complete data set is in the pictures
below.
1. Use descriptive statistics to summarize the
data from this study. What are your preliminary conclusions about
the independence of the response (Yes or No) and party affiliation
for each of the three questions in the survey?
2. With regard to question 1, test for the
independence of the response (Yes and No) and party affiliation.
Use α =.05.
3. With regard to question 2, test for the
independence of the response (Yes and No) and party affiliation.
Use α = .05.
4. With regard to question 3, test for the
independence of the response (Yes and No) and party affiliation.
Use α= .05.
5. Does it appear that there is broad support
for change across all political lines? Explain.
