Calculation of Margin of Error:
Comparing ‘Less Pride in your Community’ vs. ‘No Change in Pride in your Community’:
No Change in Pride in your Community: 44 votes
Less Pride in your Community: 58 votes
n=102
Using our formula: Margin of Error = ±9.7%
Less Pride in my Community:58 votes ±9.7%=58 votes±5.6= a range of 52.4 to 63.6
No Change: 44 votes±9.7% = 44 votes ±4.3 = a range of 39.7 to 48.3
The ranges do not overlap, therefore, the majority vote of ‘less pride in my community’ is statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. A Vote of the general Community would be expected to produce the same majority result nineteen times out of twenty.
Discussion of Results:
Females in all age categories voted with a large majority ‘less pride in my community’. Males over 30 voted ‘no change’. Males under 30 voted ‘more pride in my community. [Ah! the enthusiasm of youth.].
There was an age effect for females. The percent of females who voted ‘diminished pride in my community’ was lowest for the late 20s age category and increased steadily, both as the age of the females decreased and as it increased. This appears to be the same age effect as in other propositions. Could this mean that females near thirty years of age are the most at ease with their mammary glands?

Unable to determine – there would likely be initial shock reactions, either negative or positive, but as withmost things, changes become integrated. |
