Question

1. The Webster University Student Government Association [SGA] wants to make Webster a Smoke Free Campus. They want to understand how strongly Webster Groves campus students support this measure; therefore, they conduct a poll of the students. This poll surveyed 258 students and found that 67.8% of the respondents supported the measure.

The SGA was not satisfied with the results of this survey. They decided to conduct an advertising campaign hoping to increase student support for their Smoke Free Campus measure. Two weeks later they repeated their random survey. This survey randomly sampled 198 Webster Groves campus students and found that 73.1% supported the measure. Was the advertising campaign effective in increasing student support of the Smoke Free Campus measure?
