In a recent survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, a random sample of adults 18 years of age or older living in the continental united states was asked their reaction to the word socialism. In addition, the individuals were asked to disclose which political party they most associate with. Results of the survey are given in the table.
Democrat | Independent | Republican | |
Positive | 220 | 144 | 62 |
Negative | 279 | 410 | 351 |
a) Explain why this data should be analyzed by the homogeneity of proportions.
b) Does the evidence suggest individuals within each political affiliation react differently to the word socialism? (Use the =0.05 level of significance.)
1. State the null and alternate hypothesis
2. Verify the requirements.
3. Calculate the test statistic.
4. Find the corresponding p-value.
5. State your conclusion.
ANSWER::
(a)
Because the variables are categorical.
(b)
The hypothesis being tested is:
H0: Individuals within each political affiliation react the same to the word socialism
Ha: Individuals within each political affiliation react differently to the word socialism

The p-value is 0.0000.
Since the p-value (0.0000) is less than the significance level (0.05), we can reject the null hypothesis.
Therefore, we can conclude that individuals within each political affiliation react differently to the word socialism.
