Question:

In most election years since 1960, a televised debate between the leading candidates for president has been influential in determining the outcome of the U.S. election. One analysis of the transcripts of these debates looked at the number of times that each candidate used the words “will,” “shall,” or “going to” as an indication of how many promises the candidate made. Also recorded was whether the candidate won the popular vote. (This is not always the same candidate who won the election. In 2000, for example, Al Gore won the popular vote, but George Bush attained the presidency.) The results are shown in the following table. Debates were not held in 1964, 1968, and 1972, and full transcripts were not available from 1984. Was the winner or loser significantly more likely to make promises, as measured by this index? Use an appropriate test.
