3. With the information given, is it possible to do any further testing concerning the proportion of favourable versus unfavourable responses for two or more questions simultaneously?

Carole Day and Del Lowenthal studied the responses of young adults in their eval- uation of library services.23 Of the n = 200 young adults involved in the study, n = 152 were students and n = 48 were non-students. The table presents the percents and numbers of favourable responses for each group to seven questions in which the atmosphere, staff, and design of the library were examined.
