Question: A Gallup poll taken in May 2000 asked the question, "In general, do you feel that the laws covering the sale of firearms should be made: more strict, less strict, or kept as they are now?" Of the n = 493 men who responded, 52% said "more strict," while of the n = 538 women who responded, 72% said "more strict." Assuming that these respondents constitute random samples of U.S. men and women, is there sufficient evidence to conclude that a higher proportion of women than men in the population think that these laws should be made more strict? Show all five steps of the hypothesis testing procedure. Be sure to specify the value of a that you chose to use.
