Proportions-Sometimes, the answer to a question depends on how it is asked. For example, if you ask people whether they prefer cats or dogs, you might get different answers than if you ask them whether they prefer dogs or cats. One hundred randomly selected people were asked, "Do you prefer cats or dogs?" and 54 of them answered cats. One hundred different randomly selected people were asked, "Do you prefer dogs or cats?" and 32 of them answered cats. A two-proportion z-test was performed on the data to determine whether the order of the question made a difference. What is the p-value of the test?
