1. In 2023, some researchers explored the perceptions that Ateneo students had on the
ubiquity of football content in social media. They opined that such perceptions might depend
on a respondent's level of participation in football. For instance, people who watch football
games may tend to see more content because of recommendation algorithms built into the
social media sites.
The researchers divided a sample of respondents into the following three groups depending
on their level of participation in football: "active players", "watching only", and "don't watch
nor play". The question they asked was: "how much material about football can you see on
social media?", and the responses are summarized as follows.
Active Players
Watching Only
Don't Watch nor Play
Little to none
16
15
25
Just enough
29
22
26
A lot
16
14
17
Indeed, it was somewhat apparent from the sample data that a larger proportion (around
37%) of the "don't watch nor play" group chose "little to none", as compared to the first two
groups (26% and 29%, respectively). However, the researchers were not so sure if this
discrepancy is statistically significant. Perform an appropriate procedure to determine
whether the data suggest that, on the population level, participation can exert an influence
on the responses. Explicitly declare the name of the procedure and the bases of your
conclusion.
