Dolly the sheep, the worlds first mammal to be cloned, was introduced to the public in 1997. In a pew research poll taken soon after Dollys debut, 63% of Americans were opposed to the cloning of animals. In a pew research poll taken 20 years after Dollys, 60% of thoes surveyed were opposed to animal cloning. Assume this was based on a random sample of 1100 Americans.
Does this survey indicate that opposition to animal cloning has declined since 1997? Use 0.05 significance level.

Withholding Treatment. Several years ago, a poll by Gallup asked 1528 adults the following question: “The New Jersey Supreme Court recently ruled that all life-sustaining medical treatment may be withheld or withdrawn from terminally ill patients, provided that is what the patients want or would want if they were able to express their wishes. Would you like to see such a ruling in the state in which you live, or not?” The data on the WeissStats site give the responses by opinion and educational level. Use the technology of your choice to decide, at the 1% significance level, whether the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that opinion on this issue and educational level are associated.

Millions more are designated as overweight." The American trend toward obesity has prompted many physicians to offer weight-loss programs to their patients. [Source: Price, w. T. "Physicians Get into the Weight-Loss Business." Florida Today, July 7, 2008.] A physician conducted an experimental study to compare the effectiveness of four different weight-loss programs. In the study, 60 obese adults were randomly assigned to the four programs so that each program had 15 adults. The programs lasted for six months. The weights of the subjects were measured before and after the programs, and each subject's weight loss was computed in pounds. The following table summarizes the results of the study, giving the number of observations and the sample mean and variance of the subjects' weight loss in each program.
