Question

3. Many members of social media outlets like Facebook lament the fact that their friends use their Facebook page as a platform for espousing their political beliefs. Given this context, a researcher was interested to see if Facebook use varied based on an individual’s political affiliation. Specifically, he wanted to know if the average number of logins to Facebook per day varied among the various political groups. To this end, he created a survey where he asked people to indicate their political affiliation as Democrat, Republican or Other. Additionally, he asked people to indicate how many times per day they logged into/checked their Facebook account. The table below contains the Facebook use data from the 30 study participants.

Democrat	Republican	Other
6	1	4
7	3	3
10	2	1
10	5	5
4	1	3
3	1	0
1	0	3
5	3	7
6	6	4
1	2	5

1. Specifically, is there a significant difference between (be sure to interpret the direction of the difference if there is one):

1. Democrats and Republicans? How do you know?

2. Democrats and Others? How do you know?

3. Republicans and Others? How do you know?
