The academic faculty and the support staff at a community college were asked to indicate their opinions about several proposed changes to the operation of the college. Each proposed change was listed, and the participants were asked to indicate whether they supported the change (Yes) or did not support the change (No). The number of Yes's to the list of 25 proposed changes were counted for each participant. Because these data may violate the assumptions of normality underlying parametric tests of significance a non-parametric test was chosen to compare the opinions of the academic faculty with the support staff. What non-parametric test would you choose to answer the question?
