In a random sample of 160 women, 78% favored stricter gun control laws. in a random sample of 220 men, 61% favored stricter gun control laws. is there statistically significant evidence that a larger proportion of women than men favor stricter gun control laws?

In this scenario, yes it would be statistically significantly evidenced that a larger proportion of women over men favor stricter gun control laws. In these samples, the amount of women who favor stricter gun control laws is much higher than that of the men. If the two sides were much more equal, it would be a very small likelihood that we would see such a difference.
