The data for this exercise are in the GSS-08 dataset on the companion website. The variable gunlaw is whether a respondent favors or opposes stronger gun control laws.
a. Determine the percentage of respondents who favor stronger gun control laws and the percentage of respondents who oppose stronger gun control laws. (Note: Not all survey participants were asked the question about gun laws, so the sample size for gunlaw is smaller than the overall sample size.)
b. Draw a graphical summary of the gunlaw variable.
c. Create a two-way table of counts that shows the relationship between the variable sex (female, male) and opinion about stronger gun control laws. From looking at this table of counts, are you able to judge whether or not the two variables are related? Briefly explain.
d. What percentage of females favors stronger gun control laws? What percentage of males favors stronger gun control laws? e. Based on the percentages found in part (d), do you think that sex and opinion about gun control are related? Briefly explain.
