Question
A survey was conducted that included several questions about how internet users feel about search engines and other websites collecting information about them and using this information either to shape search results or target advertising to them. In one question, participants were asked, "If a search engine kept track of what you search for, and then used that information to personalize your future search results, how would you feel about that?" Respondents could indicate either "Would not be okay with it because you feel it is an invasion of your privacy" or "Would be okay with it, even if it means they are gathering information about you." Frequencies of responses by age group are summarized in the following table.
Age Not Okay Okay
18–29 0.1486 0.0603
30–49 0.2274 0.0906
50+ 0.4009 0.0722
