Question

A survey was taken involving the Spring 2011 Math 1530 students at ETSU. One of the questions asked was "When a person has a disease that cannot be cured, do you think doctors should be allowed by law to end the patient’s life by some painless means if the patient and his/her family request it?”  

Here is a table of the responses

	yes	no	don't know	total
female	236	148	95	479
male	222	82	55	359
total	458	230	150	838

Read the questions carefully. Word order makes a difference.
