  A) It will decrease by a factor of 9 B) It will increase by a factor of 9
  C) It will increase by a factor of 3 D) It will decrease by a factor of 3

Question 2

In a random sample of 360 women, 65 favored stricter gun control laws. In a random sample of 220 men, 60 favored stricter gun control laws.
 
  At the 0.05 significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of women favoring stricter gun control is higher than the proportion of men favoring stricter gun control?
