Question:
During the 2000 U.S. presidential campaign, Senator I
il John McCain and Governor George W. Bush competed for the Republican nomination. Immediately prior to the South Carolina primary election, New~week commissioned a telephone survey of 507 South Carolina voters who intended to vote in the Republican primary.
The purpose was to determine where they stood on some of the important campaign issues. Of those surveyed, 218 were Bush supporters, 203 were McCain supporters, and the remainder favored neither. One question asked was: "Should most of the budget surplus be used to pay for a tax cut?" Of the Bush supporters, 61% said yes, 30% said no, and 9 % were undecided. Of the McCain supporters, 42% said yes, 50% said no, and 8% were undecided (Newsweek, Feb. 21,2000). Do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a voter's position on the tax cut issue is related to his or her preferred presidential candidate? Test using a = .05.
