ANSWER:
Solution:
Step 1 of 3:
The data about the result of the survey is given.
We have to find the following.
- The frequency marginal distribution of the data
- We have to construct a relative frequency marginal distribution.
- The proportion of college graduates feel that abortion should never be permitted.
- We have to construct a conditional distribution of people's feeling by level of education.
- The bar graph of the conditional distribution found in part (d).
- We have to describe whether the level of education associated with the opinion of availability of abortion.
