Question
The Pew Research Center (2021) conducted a survey to learn more about how people in the
United States think about voting rights. They were particularly interested in learning if there are
group differences in whether people viewed voting as a, “Privilege that comes with
responsibilities and can be limited” or a, “Fundamental right for every U.S. citizen and should
not be restricted.” They found differences in these perspectives between the two leading political
parties, with more Democrats reporting that they viewed voting as a fundamental right compared
to Republicans. However, they were also interested in determining if there were differences
between different racial/ethnic groups and compared the responses of white, Black, Hispanic,
and Asian survey respondents. What statistical test should be used to determine if there are differences between the surveyed racial/ethnic groups? Assume parametric assumptions are met.
