Question: A college board of trustees requests input from faculty members, students, alumni, and off-campus educators regarding a proposed change of academic policy. The response from 50 – member random samples selected from each of the four groups are summarized in the following table:

FAVOR OPPOSE NEUTRAL

Faculty Member 34 10 6

Students 39 8 3

Off-campus Educ’s 28 18 4

At the 0.05 level of significance, test the hypothesis that the opinion regarding the change in academic policy is independent of group membership. Reconstruct this data set in SPSS and run Crosstabs to check your hand calculation. Write a brief report of your analysis supporting it with relevant information.
