A Pew Research Center survey asked adults if their ideal place to live would have a faster pace of life or a slower pace of life (USA Today, February 13, 2009). A preliminary sample of 16 respondents showed 4 preferred a faster pace of life, 11 preferred a slower place of life, and 1 said it did not matter.
a. Are these data sufficient to conclude there is a difference between the preferences for a faster pace of life or a slower pace of life? Use α = .05. What is your conclusion?
b. Considering the entire sample of 16 respondents, what is the percentage who would like a faster pace of life? What is the percentage who would like a slower pace of life? What recommendation do you have for the study?
