The survey on student attitude toward e-books described in Exercise 3 .5 was conducted in 2011. A similar survey was also conducted in 2012 (The Chronicle of Higher Education, August 23, 2013). Data from 1588 students who participated in the 2012 survey are summarized in the accompanying table.

1. a. Use these data and the data from Exercise 3 .5 to construct a comparative bar chart that shows the distribution of responses for the two years. (Hint: See Example 3 .1.)
2. b. Based on your graph from part （a) do you think there was much of a change in attitude toward e-books from 2011 to 2012?

The responses are summarized in the accompanying table. (The Chronicle of Higher Education, August 23, 2013)

1. a. Construct an appropriate graphical display to summarize the information given in the table.
