Attitudes toward interracial relationships have changed dramatically since the Supreme Court ruled bans on interracial marriage were unconstitutional in Loving v. Virginia in 1967. A researcher interested in learning about current attitudes recruited a diverse sample of undergraduate students throughout the United States were asked to classify themselves as: (1) Asian, (2) Black or African American, (3) American Indian or Alaska Native, (4) White, (5) Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders, or (6) Other (e.g., some other race, two or more races). Each person was also asked whether their family would consider it acceptable (yes or no) is they married someone from a different racial category. What statistical test should be used to see if acceptability differs between people from different racial categories? A. Is this a relationship test or a difference test? Explain your rationale. B. What would be the appropriate statistical test? Explain your rationale.
