You are a founder of a think tank focused on governance issues and have been asked by the parliament of a European country to measure citizen attitudes toward the government in the wake of the recent protests over COVID-19 lockdowns in that country. To begin, you pull together a team to conduct a survey to learn whether residents' political ideologies affect their views of the national government. The team provides you with counts of the number of respondents that approve or disapprove of the government's performance broken down by political ideology:
73 respondents identify as liberal and approve of the government's performance
36 respondents identify as liberal and disapprove of the government's performance
42 respondents identify as conservative and approve of the government's performance
78 respondents identify as conservative and disapprove of the government's performance
What is the pattern and magnitude of the relationship between political ideology and view of the government's performance? Begin by creating a contingency table to illustrate the relationship.
Is the relationship between political ideology and view of the government's performance statistically significant at the 1% level? To decide, perform the appropriate hypothesis test. Be sure to show your work but note that you are not required to show all five steps associated with the test.
