Question: In 1692, twenty persons were executed in connection with the famous witchcraft trials in Salem, Massachusetts. At the center of the controversy was Rev. Samuel Parris, minister of the parish at Salem Village. The teenage girls who began the cycle of accusations often gathered at his home, and he spoke out against witchcraft. This data file represents a list of all residents who paid taxes to the parish in 1692. In 1695, many villagers signed a petition supporting Rev. Parris.
Construct a crosstab of proParris status and the accuser variable. Based on the crosstab, is there any indication that accusers were more or less likely than nonaccusers to support Rev. Parris? Explain.
