Background: Morris Saldov conducted a study in Eastern and Central Newfoundland in 1988 to examine public attitudes towards social spending. In particular, the study tried to determine if knowing someone on public assistance (yes, no) affected one's views on social spending (too little, about right, too much). The data from the study is summarized in the table below. Use a =0.05.
