Question 39

right?" The pollsters also classified the respondents with respect to highest education level attained: high school, 2-year college degree, 4-year degree, or advanced degree. We wish to know if attitudes on cloning are related to education level. (All the conditions are satisfied - don't worry about checking them.)
