Do university students become more supportive of their varsity teams as they progress through their 4-year stint? To help answer this question, a sample of students was drawn. Each was asked their class standing (freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior) and to what extent they supported the university’s football team, the Hawks. The responses to the latter question are:

Wildly fanatic

Support the Hawks wholeheartedly

Support the Hawks, but not that enthusiastically

Who are the Hawks?

The responses were coded using a 4-3-2-1 numbering system. Can we conclude that the four levels of students differ in their support for the Hawks?
