            Democrat 40 20 15

           Independent 10 15 20

a). Input the data into R.

b). Use R to get a barplot representing the percentage of three parties’ opinion.

c). Conduct Chi-Square test to see whether the data suggest that the opinions are related to party affiliations.

The R output is:

The R code is:

x <- matrix(c(30,40,10,15,20,15,10,15,20),nrow = 3)
barplot(x)
chisq.test(x)

The barplot is:

The hypothesis being tested is:

H0: The opinions are not related to party affiliations

Ha: The opinions are related to party affiliations

The p-value is 0.002871.

Since the p-value (0.002871) is less than the significance level (0.05), we can reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore, we can conclude that the opinions are related to party affiliations.

Please give me a thumbs-up if this helps you out. Thank you!
