Question:

During the decade of the 1980s, professional baseball thrived in North America. However, in the 1990s attendance dropped, and the number of television viewers also decreased. To examine the popularity of baseball relative to other sports, surveys were performed. In 1985 and again in 1992, a Harris Poll asked a random sample of 500 people to name their favorite sport. The results, which were published in the Wall Street Journal (July 6, 1993), were recorded in the following way: favorite sport (1 = professional football, 2 = baseball, 3 = professional basketball, 4 = college basketball, 5 = college football, 6 = golf, 7 = auto racing, 8 = tennis and 9 = other); year (1 = 1985, 2 = 1992). Do these results indicate that North Americans changed their favorite sport between 1985 and 1992?
