Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The table shows increasing percentages of respondents who strongly agree with gun registration as the years of schooling increase, indicating that more educated respondents are more likely to support gun registration. This is evident from the percentages in the "Strongly Agree" column increasing with higher education levels, and the total number of people who strongly agree across all education levels is greater than the total number of people who disagree or strongly disagree.
