Movies based on Ian Fleming’s novels starring British secret agent James Bond have become one of the longest running film series to date. Over the course of the series, six different actors have portrayed the secret agent. Which actor is the best James Bond? A sample of responses to this question is shown in Table 7.13.

Table 7.13

Actor ........................Frequency
Sean Connery .................98
George Lazenby ...............5
Roger Moore ..................23
Timothy Dalton ................9
Pierce Brosnan ..............25
Daniel Craig ...................51

(a) Does the sample provide evidence of a significant difference in popularity among the six actors, at a 5% significance level?
(b) Repeat the test from part (a) if we ignore the results for George Lazenby, who only appeared in one Bond film. Do we find evidence of a significant difference in popularity among the remaining five actors?
(c) The message from Chapter 1 still holds true: Pay attention to where the data come from! These data come from a poll held on a James Bond fan site. Can we generalize the results of this poll to the movie-watching population?
