A Pew Research Center survey asked respondents if they would rather live in a place with a slower pace of life or a place with a faster pace of life (USA today, February 13, 2009). Consider the following data showing a sample of preferences expressed by 150 men and 150 women.

a. Combine the samples of men and women. What is the overall percentage of respondents who prefer to live in a place with a slower pace of life? What is the overall percentage of respondents who prefer to live in a place with a faster pace of life? What is your conclusion?
b. Is the preferred pace of life independent of the respondent? Use α = .05. What is your conclusion? What is yourrecommendation?
