7.1. An Associated Press story (Feb. 23, 2007) about UCLA's annual survey of college freshmen indicated that 73% of college freshmen in 2006 considered being financially well offto be very important, compared to 42% in 1966 (the first year the survey was done). It also reported that 81% of 18- to 25-

year-olds in the U.S. see getting rich as a top goal in life. Are the sample percentages of 42% in 1966 and 73% in 2006 based on independent samples or dependent samples? Explain.
