In the late summer of 2008, a brief war broke out between the two countries—Russia and Georgia. Suppose you are a researcher interested in nationalistic attitudes in these two countries. You decided to use data from the World Values Survey, which is available at the following URL: http://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/. The data of interest are presented below on Russian respondents.

Return to the original data. Exactly 940 persons between the ages of 15 and 29 indicated that they were “quite proud” of their nationality. Suppose for the moment that only 840 persons between the ages of 15 and 29 were “quite proud” of their nationality. Keeping the other cells as they were originally, recalculate the value of the chi-square statistic and determine whether it is statistically significant. Explain why adjusting only one cell in Question #10 resulted in a different conclusion.
