Democrat 22 14 36 61%
Independent 10 9 19 53%
Republican 39 6 45 87%
Total Result 71 29 100

Thus, it can be concluded that since the percentage of Republicans that answered yes is much greater than
the percentage of Democrats or Independents that answered yes, the classifications do not appear to be
independent.

Democrat 21 15 36 58%
Independent 15 4 19 79%
Republican 34 11 45 76%
Total Result 70 30 100

Thus, it can be concluded that since the percentage of Democrats that answered yes is much less than the
percentage of Independents or Republicans that answered yes, the classifications do not appear to be
independent.

The analyses performed in Parts 3 and 4 resulted in negligible p-values, indicating that there is no relationship betwee
party identification and views on the ban on lobbyists and term limits for lawmakers.

Yet, the test used in Part 2 indicates that there is a substantial correlation between a person's party affiliation and their
viewpoint on a legislative wage decrease. Republicans seem to support a legislative salary decrease for the daily state
budget far more than Democrats or Independents.

As a result, it seems that only some political lines, rather not all of them, favour change on a broad scale.
