Use Guns.xls file which consists of 50 states plus D.C. in 2010. It includes variables regarding the names of the states, whether the population density is relatively low / moderate / high, whether gun ownership by residents is relatively low / moderate / high, and whether murders committed by guns is relatively low / moderate / high.

• ASSIGNED PROBLEM 1: In 2000, gun ownership in the U.S. had shown a decline from prior years, with about 10% of the states having high gun ownership, about 30% having moderate ownership, and about 60% having low ownership. Since then we have seen 9/11 and other terrorist acts as well as a lot of discussion about tightened gun control. Using the Chi_Square.xls file, conduct a Chi Square Goodness of Fit test to determine if the 2010 distribution fits the pattern from a decade earlier. Use a .05 significance level. Describe your findings which includes stating the hypotheses, p-value, decision to reject the null or not, and the conclusion.
• ASSIGNED PROBLEM 2: The argument for gun control is still brewing, with the main argument being that it either results in more or less gun-related deaths. Using the Chi_Square.xls file, conduct a Chi Square Test of Independence to determine if gun-related deaths are dependent on the prevalence of gun ownership. Use a .05 significance level. Describe your findings which includes stating the hypotheses, p-value, decision to reject the null or not, and the conclusion.
