Great Britain Has A Great Literary Tradition That Spans Centuries One Might Assu
1. Great Britain has a great literary tradition that spans centuries. One might assume, then, that Britons read more than citizens of other countries. Some Canadians, however, feel that a higher percentage of Canadians than Britons read. A recent Gallop poll reported that 86% of 1004 randomly sampled Canadians read at least one book in the past year, compared to 81% of 1009 randomly sampled Britons. Do these results indicate that the percentage of Britons who read at least one book in the past year is less than the percentage of Canadians who read at least one book in the past year?
