Dan Storch, a researcher at the Illinois Association of School Boards, wants to learn more about why
Question:
Dan Storch, a researcher at the Illinois Association of School Boards, wants to learn more about why some school bond referenda pass whereas others fail. Specifi cally, Mr. Storch believes that referendum measures that authorize funding for renovating existing buildings should be more successful than those that authorize funding for new buildings. Mr. Storch has gathered data on the last 100 public school bond referenda in Illinois. Referenda are divided into two categories, those authorizing renovations (coded 1) and those authorizing new school buildings (coded 2). The vote on each measure is coded as either “passed” (1), or “failed” (2). Based on these data, what can Mr. Storch conclude about his hypothesis?
