A local health agency is experimenting with two appeal letters, A & B, with which to raise funds. It sends out 400 of the A appeal and 400 of the B appeal (each subsample is divided equally among working-class and middle-class neighborhoods). The agency secures the results shown in the following table.
- Which appeal is the best
- Which class responded better to which letter?
- Is appeal or social class a more powerful independent variable?
