  1. A random sample of 100 traditional aged college students were asked whether they would turn to their father or mother for advise if they had a personal problem.   A second sample of 100 different traditional aged college students was asked the same question regarding an academic issue.   If 47 of the students in the first sample and 56 of the students in the second sample replied that they turned to their mother rather than their father for help, test the hypothesis of no difference in the proportions. Use ΅ = 0.05.
